"If you're not familiar with planets in general, I'm even more sure that I'd rather have me at the pool in three hundred years. The reason this world is so unpleasant now is because of a relatively small error I made regarding its distance from the sun. Anything bigger could have killed everyone.
It would not destroy the Empire—let alone the world—to change everything changeable that you've objected to. The worst consequences would coming from stopping the Soothing; I'm not sure you appreciate the fact that the order it keeps helps save lives.
Your safety can be perfectly guaranteed by going to the South Pole, er, the other side of the planet. There's a civilization there, or at least there was seven hundred years ago, but I can't easily get across and nobody else knows you exist. But that would obviously interfere with you affecting anything on this side, so you probably don't want to."
