Crypto requires increased processing power, requiring more energy, producing more waste heat.

So, yes, it is a contributing factor to global warming. Crypto is red or black. It isn't green.

I think you misunderstood me. I didn't ask if global warming was a side-effect of security, I asked if global warming was an intentional security effort, as part of the plan to boil the ocean.


Whatever the sun does in terms of output (e.g. Maunder minimum) dwarfs this and many other man-made contributing factors, of course.

 So global warming is a security effort?

Few ideas are really bad.  Most are either pre- or post-mature.
