Abstract

In season 4, episode 8 of the science ction series Futurama, `Crimes of the Hot', global warming is reduced in the year 3003 by using the thrust of 1 billion robots to move the Earth further from the Sun [1]. We calculate the distance of the new orbit of Earth, 1.515x10^11m, the temperature change for Earth, 1.708 K, and the amount of energy needed to be generated per robot, 6.480x10^22J.
