My friend showed this to me and I definitely think it's something that should be done! Damn Global Warming!

If its true that this jump will work then its perfect cause 600 000 000 of 6 billion people isnt impossible.

I think what they are doing is a real attempt, but I doubt that you could actually change the direction of the earth. I mean our mass is so much lower, that I don't think you could get enough people to have enough mass to change the direction of the earth.

Plus theoretically if the earth had a drastic enugh chance in orbit it could spiral into the sun. This would require a much larger force though.

I meant that there is scientific proof that you could change the orbit with this jump.

It would be nice if the jump could change the orbit for people in the future.

It's actually possible to do but it has to be at a certain time as you can see. It's funny that people won't change their ways to stop global warming but something so easy, a simple jump probably would be too much to ask of people.

I think most people would do this jump if they were told by people they trust like the leaders in their countries or UN.

come to think about it, 10 million people farting at the same time would cause a large amount of heat, which would cause more damage to the problem! ^_^'
you're right BAD idea..

I live in the US, part of being an american is not trusting your leader.

Arresty: Yeah... I trust Kofi Annan about as much as I trust George Bush. Not so much as I distaste the UN and it's ideals, but I do believe a healthy distrust in your leaders can go a good way to calling attention to any problems that may surface. Blind faith, no matter what, is a dangerous thing.

More to the point, what is the real effect of moving our planet to a different orbit? I read through the site, and it hasn't produced any reliable data. Sure there are pretty graphs, but there aren't any objective documentation listed. I'll trust this when it his the Scientific Journals.

World Fart Day would make the world smell like shit. And kill all animals with a keen sense of smell.

You said it, but if you think about it most people pass gas thouhgout the course of the day. Everyone doing it at once woudl just make it worse around them, and then it will dissapate, unless we all stored it up and let some nasty ones go.

if you really think about it wouldn't the hemispheres be pushing against eachother? If people on the other side of us are jumping and pushing down, and we're jumping and pushing down it would just cancel out. throw in rotation and you could really get a fucked up result. not only that but africans jumps dont count because they wouldn't land at the same time as everyone else since they jump higher. :) (hope noone takes offense to that joke.) anyways who came up with this idea?
