I would clear up most of the CO2 causing global warming, stop the ice caps from melting, make endangeored animals not indangeored. Create a new species of animal. Swim in the deep sea waters.Swim in a volcano. Teleport through space.
The problem with fizing all the Earth's problems is that you only get to act ONCE, so you hyave to make sure it's a long term solution. How are you going to un-endanger a species? Just create more of them and distabalise their habitat? And if you mop up all the CO2 we'd just carry on as normal and start up global warming again.
So, I would:
-Seal the hole in the ozone layer. We've learnt our lesson enough to stop a new one.
-Build a space elevator, lunar moon base with mass driver and Helium-3 mining station, and a working fusion reactor. People should be able to reverse engineer everything we need from that.
-Fixing third world countries could be an issue. Maybe just disintegrate every single plasmodium to clear up malaria. As I recall they don't effect the Anopheles mosquito, so the environment will be fine.
-Heck, whilst I'm there disintegrate every single HIV, swine flu, bird flu (leave normal flu, too risky to muck around with something that prevelent) and measles, mumps, rubella virus. Go for cholera as well.
-Curing cancer would be tricky, as I can't really think of a long term solution for it. Maybe just give every person's cells a fresh, working copy of the tumour suppressor genes. Remove most of the genetic component.
