Tell that to the ton of wildlife around everything but the refactor proper?

And also even taking your argument at face value, I fully believe a handful of 20,000 year dead zones would be superior to global warming at our current rate. The alternative we get now is way more than 20,000 years of wrecked biodiversity almost everywhere.

"can be" isn't good enough. There's a lot of stuff we could do, but won't. I'll take my chances with the nuclear powerplants, thank you.
Don't take mine, please
