11、ill be changed.Our world will then be sent into a safer，colder part of the solar system.This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) engineers and American astronomers.They say their plan could add another six billion years to the u
12、seful lifetime of our planeteffectively doubling its working life.The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin，and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams，needs carefully directing a comet of asteroid(小行星 ) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.“Earth
13、s orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun， ” Laughlin said.Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn.The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets.Later its orbit would bring it back to
14、 Earth， and the process would be repeated.In the short term，the plan provides an ideal way to global warming，although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger.The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere(生物圈) by cooking us.Thats
