Dear Evil Engineer, As a yeti, I often wish that millions of years of evolution had better prepared me for life on a planet with average temperatures well above freezing. I tend not to stray far from the Arctic – which severely limits my career opportunities – but global heating is rendering even that habitat smaller and sweatier by the year. Would it be possible to nudge the Earth into a higher orbit around the Sun and bring down surface temperatures to something more comfortable?
