gollark: Also deforestation. There are so many upsides.
gollark: Which would also fix flooding.
gollark: Also, rising sea levels. This could be eliminated as an issue by breaking all the various feedback loops enough that the oceans boil.
gollark: For example: apparently climate change is causing more/worse hurricanes or something. But if we heat the Earth by something like ~~10~~ 30 degrees, there will be hypercanes instead.
gollark: If the Earth is heated enough, the effects of this will counter the effects of it only being heated slightly.
