You're being ridiculous, a lemmy luddite. What could possibly go wrong with a multi-megawatt death ray aimed at the earth from space?

Get your facts straight! I'm not a lemmy ludite, I'm a kbin krazy!

That being said, the whole heat thing does seem to be a thing, even if it's much less significant than the CO² heating effect and not a super big deal yet.

Could be a useful local effect. "Come live in Death Ray City, Nunavut! Beautiful weather year round! Very few death ray related deaths every year!"
