During a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on June 8, 2021, U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, asked a question about something that is only possible in a science fiction-inspired future: Can the government fight climate change by shifting the orbit of the moon? The question gained national media attention, and prompted readers to search Snopes to see if Gohmert really made the comments. Turns out, he did. We reached out to Gohmert's spokesperson asking whether there was any further context or clarification necessary, and will update if we receive a response. Here is a transcript of Gohmert's exact words: Jennifer Eberlein, associate deputy chief for the National Forest System, responded that she would have to follow up with you on that one, after a brief pause.
