- in a manner of speaking.

- you see, you're looking at the problem
- all wrong. moving the orbit of the earth
- inwards by 10 M miles or so should alter
- the climate of the earth sufficiently to
- reduce the demand for furs to the point
- of unprofitablility. any residual climactic
- alterations could be handled by manipulating
- the atlantic and pacific jet streams.
-
- just think of the boon to tourism.
-
- of course there may be minor consequences,
- but there's nothing like a mild catclysm
- to bring nations together and to stimulate
- the domestic economy.
