Jump and You'll Stop Global Warming

A German professor claims that if enough people at precisely the right time, we can change the Earth's orbit and stop global warming:

Hans Peter Niesward, from the Department of Gravitationsphysik at the ISA in Munich, says we can stop global warming in one fell swoop — or, more accurately, in one big jump.

The slightly disheveled professor states his case on WorldJumpDay.org, an Internet site created to recruit 600,000,000 people to jump simultaneously on July 20 at 11:39:13 GMT in an effort to shift Earth's position.

Niesward claims that on this day "Earth occupies one of the most fragile positions in its orbits for the last 100 years." According to the site, the shift in orbit will "stop global warming, extend daytime hours and create a more homogeneous climate."

As big as Al Gore is now, I'm thinking he can probably jump all by himself and take of this for us. Of course, that's would put the kabosh on his movie, so he'll probably just sit and let us all bake.
