The numbers of this madness are fucking scary, 1.5 GW of compute power, and huge arrays of cooler to keep it operating. It's basically a 1.5GW heater in the open. Oh and gas turbines to provide (part of) the electricity. Capitalism is burning this world down for a buck.

    We can't really produce enough heat through industry to affect the earth globally, if that's what you meant. It's insignificant in comparison to what the Sun provides.
    However there is undeniably localised issues caused by these insane structures.
