Stabilizing our Weather by Destroying the Moon

       A University professor has a moonstruck solution to the Earth’s
       weather problems. He wants to blow up the moon – or at least send
       it somewhere else.

       “It’s the only way to rid the world of scorching deserts and artic
       winters,” says Professor Alexander Abian, a mathematician at the
       University of Iowa. He claims that by getting rid of the moon, the
       Earth will then be able to shift into a “more desirable orbit.”

       The suggestion which has been greeted with hoots and hollers from
       the world’s scientific community, has been presented by the 65-year
       old Armenian-born expert to the American government.

       Abian suggests strategically placed hydrogen bombs on the Earth’s
       satellite can either blow it apart, or send it careening into outer
       space, maybe even into the sun. It all depends where you put the
       charges, he says.

       “We’ve been held hostage by the moon for 5 million years, and we’ve
       been subjected to violent extremes in weather, not to mention that
       the planet is slowly becoming a desert.

       “It’s time for a change.”   The change would make our weather less
       extreme, turn our deserts into fertile farm land, and make the north
       and south polar regions livable.

       But other scientists disagree, suggesting the professor might be
       moonstruck. “If you lose the moon, you LOSE THE TIDES.   And if you
       melt the polar caps, you’re going to flood the seacosts of every
       continent,” one scientist explains.

       Another climate expert says blowing up the moon would turn Earth
       into “a bleak, seasonless planet, not to mention the fact that we
       would lose the tides.”

British astronomer Patrick Moore suggests Professor Abian “must be
as nutty as several fruitcakes.”

       Famed romance writer Barbara Cartland offers the best argument
       against Abian’s plan. Without moonlight, she says, love would flee
       the Earth. “People long for romance and no professor should be
       allowed to rob them of it,” she says.

Vangard notes…

Just for speculation……

            What a bizarre theory!   Since the moon causes the tides and
            plays a definite part in helping to keep the Earth in its
            elliptical orbit around our Sun, the removal of the moon, by
            whatever means, would lead to a radical stabilization of our
            orbit, into the most stable natural form, that of the circle.

            Now without the change in distance from the current elliptical
            orbit of Earth around the Sun, we would NOT experience the
            heating and cooling cycles which result in summer, fall, winter
            and spring.

In addition, the lack of tides would greatly change the
characteristics of large bodies of water such as our oceans.

            The most scary thing about such a proposal is that we do not
            know just how far the Earth would naturally locate itself from
            the Sun.   This would determine what the climate would be like
            everyday from the point of stabilization on.

            Too close and we would experience perpetual summer, too far and
            we could experience another ice age.   How would we CONTROL it
            to arrive at the most desirable location.
