"That still has some negative connotations, but not nearly as much as 'Hell', so I suppose it'll work. Anyway, I'd like to ask about progress on the hothouse design. You were redoing it to postmodern standards, no?"

"Right! I don't want to make it run on electricity, part of the elegance of a greenhouse is that it doesn't, but it can be made of plastic and have double walls for insulation and stuff."

"If electricity is cheap electric lights are cheap. The IEC's design had alternators and lights off the steam core... But that does sound lower maintenance."

"We're not putting down a grid right now, so anything that runs on electricity needs battery swaps, and I don't know how much I'll be able to warm the planet back up so if I can require fewer trips that's good."

"And you've made your objections to coal power known. Alright."

They go back to work.

The situation develops fairly predictably after that. More airships, all over the world. A long series of planned drops with care packages designed by hundreds and hundreds of helpful demons in Hell- Or rather, apsels in the Void. They come across various bad situations and unrest, and try to resolve them by giving everyone lots of food and heaters and entirely harmless supplies. They distribute greenhouse kits, to give people something to do. Some desperate refugees-cum-pirates hijack a few of the airships, and can be bribed to stop that before it really goes anywhere with basic living supplies. The governments of the world mostly fail to collapse, though certainly the political situation is due to change a lot.

Angels gradually stop the entire massive wildfire burning up the Amazon Rainforest and do their best to clear out the absurd amounts of ash in the air. Lots of it is too spread out by now, but climate models running on computers a dozen orders of magnitude more sophisticated than anything the 19th century can dream up say that the worst of it has been averted - it's still going to stay unreasonably cold for a while, but the giant megastorms that were due to hit in another couple of months and kill almost everyone will never happen.

Now, though, more and more communities and governments would really like answers as to where all this stuff is coming from.
