@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.
