Nothing we do is 100% efficient, everything produces heat - CPUs pretty much make all their energy into heat

Heat can't travel good in a vacuum. So it can only radiate of, which isn't really effective

So just by using all our infrastructure, we would cook ourselves in there future.

The CO2 blanket only accelerates it much more
