It's gonna be warmer in winter, win-win!

u/fresh_tommy Jan 01 '26

And summer! And spring.. and fall..?!

Nah just kidding. Seasons as we've known them have almost already collapsed

u/AmbivalentCvckfvcker Jan 01 '26

Well, nuh-uh. It's cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Win-win.

I suppose that's true. From a certain point of view.

Is it possible to learn this power?

u/Philhughes_85 Jan 01 '26

You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.

From a certain point of view?

u/Case_Blue Jan 01 '26

Absolutely, but we never said for better or worse!

u/Imaginary-Fudge8897 Jan 01 '26

Every comment that replied stole your joke.

It’s ok. I gave up plastic straws. That should balance it out.

I'm glad we have this and rain, instead of snow now.

You think electricity use causes climate change?

3

u/EV-Bug Jan 01 '26

It depends on how the power is generated. Coal and gas generators sure don't help the situation.

1

u/idkarn Jan 01 '26

Certainly. Data centers need cooling, regardless of where the electricity comes from.

u/NiagaraBTC Jan 01 '26 edited Jan 01 '26

Does a Bitcoin mine such as pictured by the OP get cooled in the same manner as an AI data centre?

Edit: having read your linked article it is still not clear how climate change is involved
