Can We Change Earth’s Orbit?

The video discusses the climate crisis, emphasizing human industrial activity as the main cause of global warming. It explains the Milankovitch Cycles, which describe how Earth's orbit affects climate over thousands of years. However, these cycles cannot account for the rapid climate change observed today, which is driven by human activity. The video humorously explores impractical solutions like moving Earth away from the sun and concludes that addressing greenhouse gas emissions is more feasible.

What is the primary driver of our warming planet according to scientists?

Explain the Milankovitch Cycles and their significance in understanding climate change.

What are the three factors that have long-term effects on Earth's climate?

How does Earth's obliquity affect the seasons?

Discuss the potential consequences of attempting to move the Earth farther from the sun.

What are some proposed methods to move the Earth, and why are they not feasible?

Why is it suggested that we should leave our planet's orbit alone?
