Constructive interference from multiple tidal waves could flood huge coastal areas, killing or displacing millions. Uncool.

Then again, global warming is going to flood huge coastal areas, killing or displacing millions, which is a pretty uncool thing we're doing to ourselves, so maybe Second Moon will counter-act that? There's literally no way of knowing until we try. And worst case scenario, we ruin a bunch of earth and we've got a second moon to move to. Its a win-win.
Put it in orbit at a 90 degree angle from the moon with Earth as the center and you can cause destructive interference and lower the tides :)
Or very cool if you're an evil villain in a movie/comic. Give me one milllllion dollars, or I will bring in a second moon!
