If a mighty astroid can potentially shift the earth into an ice-age...could we somehow move the earth into a slightly more distant (from the sun) orbit to counter global warming?

There have been severe storms in my country Kenya and power lines have fallen and caused a lot of injuries, some fatal to pedestrians, motorists and others.I am sure if power lines were covered with rubber sheathing or some other apopropriatde material, there would be less likelihood of electrocution, serious injury, fire or property damage. I am a lay person in these matters so I am talking from what I have seen.Thanks in advance.

At Star Trek this word sometimes comes up. I roughly know what a fractal is (that is i have seen fractal sets like Mandelbrot and roughly understood the principle) and i know what an algorithm is, but i can't figure out what a fractal algorithm would be like. Do you know some simple example? How can it be used? Is it of use in software, for example? Or is it only Star Trek gibberish which doesn't make sense?

In Britain the day with the least daylight hours is 22 December. Obviously this is different in Australia. But what about other parts of the world? Does when this day occur depend on your timezone, your latitude or both?
