I was thinking more like if they externalized the heat release of the data centers enough they might even be able to heat the whole globe!
Probably not, at least, I’m pretty sure the heat directly produced by power consumption is minuscule compared to the global warming contribution of the fossil fuels used to produce it, right?
Most of the globe is above the boiling temperature of water due to trapped radionuclides since, well, the beginning.
