We just need to boil the world's oceans now

You joke, but PFOS doesn't start to decompose until it's north of 400°C https://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/acs.iecr.1c01504/supp...

At ppt concentrations in seawater, it doesn't seem worth it. PFOS remediation is for contaminated soil or industrial wastewater.

I think it’d be more efficient to simply pump the ocean out of the environment.

There was a concern that the hydrogen bomb would do that. Probably just a scare story.

It was briefly considered, then numbers run, and promptly determined that it wouldn't be possible (IIRC did to x-ray losses).

Or just wait and do nothing...

Earth will vanish long before the Sun does.
