Fun side-effect: one finds a strange appreciation and understanding for supervillains hell-bent on ending life on earth, "for no reason".

Hey, if you want to see the world burn so badly, stop dilly-dallying and bring out the big guns! This is really taking longer than necessary.

I've flipped and flopped between being an accelerationist and a saviour when it comes to life-ending climate change.

Ultimately nobody has the guts to commit to using humans to simulate 100, 000, 000 whalefalls though.

Also, you would fail. Climate change almost certainly will not end life, or macroscopic life, or human life.
