@deprecated_ii They should build giant peltier coolers that are powered by absorbing the excess heat of the earth and shooting it into space using a laser.
@Elliptica @deprecated_ii It's be a lot more effective to extract the excess CO₂ from the atmosphere and bury it, but that's very expensive to do, to do anything at all against the scale of CO₂ release.
@Suiseiseki @deprecated_ii laser beams it is then.

@Elliptica @Suiseiseki @deprecated_ii The sea is not rising. I grew up by the sea. I now live by the sea somewhere else in Greece. The harbor/promenade markings for water levels are the same in both locations since my childhood. The steps leading into the water at pireas harbor near my old home still get submerged with the (micro)tides at the exact same step, fall back down at the exact same step again.
@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Elliptica @deprecated_ii Have you measured for 46 years?
So far the sea has only risen by 15–25 cm since 1980 and obviously you wouldn't notice that if you have been looking without measuring for ~20 years.
Currently the level of rise isn't much of a problem, but it could easy accelerate and cause lots of problems.

@Suiseiseki @Elliptica @deprecated_ii Im pushing 50. 25cm is about one step. The steps that lead to the water in the harbor of pireas near my old home, get one step up, one step down water covering them because of the microtide of the harbor. Its the exact same step for as long asi remember so its about 40 years.
Now if you were me, would you doubt that? Would you not believe your eyes? That's a definitive measurement. Sure not precice beyond 5cm lets say, but definitely at 20-25cm. It simply hasnt happened dude. I can literally see it. And so can you.

@Diogenese_Shiplap @Elliptica @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @deprecated_ii What time was that photo taken at?
There's something called the tides?
That rock has been broken, split, and relocated multiple times over the past two and a half centuries and it's regularly underwater at high tide, as the sea has risen.

@Suiseiseki @Elliptica @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @deprecated_ii Nope, not gonna argue with ya.
@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @Elliptica @deprecated_ii Have you measured, accounting for the rise or fall of the tectonic plate that coastline is on?
If the land has risen by 25cm and the sea has risen by 25cm - clearly there would be no visual difference.

@Suiseiseki @Elliptica @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @deprecated_ii how do you handle the confound of tectonic plate movements pushing land down? if 48 years is enoigh time.for the highest mountains to rise or fall some amount, surely it's enough time for the coasts to sink that much.
Have *you* been measuring to say that it has risen?
It's the same on every ancient city by the sea, because absolutely all of this is bullshit and we've known that that's the case beyond any possible doubt since 2009 when their internal emails and source code of the models were leaked showing that it was all completely made up. It's mind boggling that anyone still tries to sell this as real, and even more that anyone honestly believes it.

@Elliptica @Suiseiseki @deprecated_ii I think if nuked India, we could reduce Co2 production a lot while also planting giant jungle forests in the region to cleanse the environment and create future dungeons
finna rape yall 
@Dicer @Suiseiseki @deprecated_ii You could just ask China to bio-engineer an airborne variant of a poop virus.
@Elliptica @Suiseiseki @deprecated_ii If china men did that, I'd honestly never call them anything bad under the sun unless they start doing Epstein behaviour. Keep eating the dog and serving sewer oil, keep ethnically cleansing minorities, make a virus or two, build bridges in Africa thinking infinite niggers is a real strategy.
You'll still only be 20% as bad as the current empire

@Elliptica @deprecated_ii Peltier's coolers are unfortunately very polluting and very expensive to construct at small sizes, let alone square km size.
How one side tends to freeze despite not that much heating on the other, means very little electricity can be generated in practice.
Lasers have the problem of how the atmosphere will absorb 99.99999999% of laser light - microwaves would be far more successful, but would also have the problem of cooking people and birds who stray too close.

@Suiseiseki @deprecated_ii Well, develop some other way to passively extract heat and turn it into electricity. Sterling engines I guess.
There is a window in the near infrared that would be ideal for a laser.

@Elliptica @deprecated_ii There's no point doing all that work, when the only response to doing such will be firing up another 30 TW of coal power, to ensure the oceans get boiled.
