In my experience, side-effects of security are generally
unintentional - to be intentional, they'd first have to be
understood by the security people, and of any interest to
them.

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.

Always boil the water first. This is in line
with best security practice, which attempts
to boil the ocean.
So global warming is a security effort?

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