Default Terrorforming Earth is a Bad Idea

Terrorforming as brought to you by uncontrolled industrialization, corrupt
politicians and religiously promoted overpopulation. Enjoy the changes.

Extinction of Species

Deforestation

Loss of top soil, erosion

Global air pollution

Ocean dead zones

Collapse of fisheries

Greenhouse Warming

Global Dimming


You forgot all about the dumbing of America.

Humans are perhaps 25% responsible, which is 25% too much since we're
already getting more than our fair share of mascon/tidal and secondary
energy from our somewhat recently obtained moon. Sorry about that.

This following is a revised Guth swag/rant of our global warming day and
nighttime, as seen only by our moon, whereas it seems Earth has been a
lunar gravity heat-sink ever since the last ice age. Getting partially
rid of that moon could save the GW day, as well as a few of our sorry
butts.

Perhaps far better than relocating Sedna into our L1 (at best that's
a good century away no matters what), as a somewhat better notion
yet, we could just resolve all sorts of pesky problems by way of
moving our global roasting moon out to Earth's L1. Thereby getting
rid of all sorts of spare mascon/tidal energy that's inside and out
affecting our environment in a very GW and geophysical bad sort of
planetology way.

How hard could that possibly be?

After all, it's already coasting efficiently along in a good enough
far off orbit to start with, and there's hardly a village idiot soul
on Earth That's smart enough to give a tinkers damn about it.

We'd just end up having ourselves a somewhat better sol+moon 24 hour
tide, which should be much less disruptive than the ongoing pesky
tidal fiasco we've got to deal with as is.

If subsequently our Earth gets too cold, with hardly any applied energy
we could simply send our moon into the sun, or we could try the good old
reliable alternative of simply polluting the living crapolla out of
mother Earth (we're already expert wizards at doing that), creating butt
loads of nasty soot and the full gauntlet range of deploying toxic and
environmental trashing chemicals everywhere, or if push comes down to
shove, simply relocate the wealthy and most powerful folks to our moon
that's rather efficiently parked at Earth's L1, or perhaps employ WW-III
as our local global energy domination war to end all such silly wars
because, by then we'd be pretty much out of the required energy for
making all of those nifty chemical and nuclear bombs, by which utilizing
our healthy cache of such items should otherwise compensate by way of
warming things back up for at least another decade or so.

Relocating our moon to Earth's L1 may seem a touch daunting, but with a
yaysay mindset and a constructive sense of motivation, most anything
becomes possible, especially if it pertains to saving your own butt or
of those butts you most admirer or worship.

The last time I'd checked, our somewhat salty and possibly semi-hollow
moon only weighed 7.35e22 kg.

Therefore, 7.35e13 kg of applied force (that's only 73.5 gigatonnes) for
a considerable amount of time should do the trick. Or, if we played our
billiard cards just right and diverted a few NEOs into our moon at just
the right timing and angle (china seems to be coming right along with
that sort of kinetic impact expertise), that should get the old ball
rolling at least in the right direction, and once and for all terminate
those pesky NEOs at the same time. I'd have to call that one yet
another win-win for old gipper.

Of course the more than affordable alternative of simply implementing
terajoules worth of clean renewable terrestrial energy might stay off
the continual global warming trend that's primarily caused by our
absolutely massive and unfortunately nearby moon, and as otherwise
assisted along by our own arrogant and greedy ways of having rather
badly done things for the past couple of centuries. In which case the
moon can stay put and the LSE-CM/ISS can still become a good part of
that saving Earth analogy, by way of giving us loads of clean tether
dipole extracted energy plus efficient access as to whatever can be
rather easily pillaged and plundered out of the moon itself (we could
even put Halliburton plus the likes of Exxon and ENRON in charge,
because, it shouldn't hadly matter how badly they manage to trash our
moon).
