    Ok great! Let’s build massive heat sources in the glaciers which are already melting away!

      Someone’s gotta finish the job and ensure those pesky glaciers are destroyed… ONCE AND FOR ALL.

        In the worst case where all ice melts and sea level is +70m higher, only a few pockets of coastal areas of NZ are inundated. Plenty of affected population in those places, but most land is untouched and far away from intolerable equatorial heat. That’s why they choose NZ.

        Check out this site and set level to max. There are other interactive sites but many show levels higher than Earth could ever have, because we don’t have that much water.

    These are like headlines from a corny scifi movie of the past where you rolled your eyes because at the time they felt a bit over the top.

      It’s like they’re competing at being the most cartoonishly evil. "what’s next for the company? " “how about melting the world’s glaciers?” “we should kill seaturtles!” “we’ve never tried blowing up the moon?”.

      How the fuck do any of these people not cringe themselves to death? Fucking Doctor Evil is more normal than these pricks?

    Growing bored of ruining the lives of the average person and their environment, the parasite tech class begins to eye other places they could ruin.

    Because who needs a fucking liveable planet after all!

    And with the current close ties between the Argentinian government and Musk (as well as the rest of the broligarchy) it’s only a matter of time before we’ll see this become a reality.
