Not a single person in the entire world.
I mean, millions of scientists... but no one else.
Well, some politicians don't have their head completely up their ass, but not any others.
Well... significant portions of the population are at least trying to mitigate it in what limited fashion they're allowed to... but that's it.
Or rather, the ruling capital class is doing nothing about it and in fact seemingly hastening the effects in order to glorify themselves and solidify their power over others. And while there is significant scientific and popular support for doing something about it... most just aren't willing to give up the comforts those capitalists graciously sell to us to do enough to stop it.

"back then"
2010... only a couple years before GTA V came out. We were well into the digital era by then.

Its not one or the other, that's overly simplistic. Using this one data point to "prove" climate change is about as honest as someone bringing a snowball into congress to prove it's fake.
You need both to prove a sustainable point, otherwise it's forgotten with the next cold snap. This is one extreme data point, and it helps to showcase the problem, but it is not the only one. Use it as part of a whole, not as a singular showcase.
Thats my interpretation of OPs comment.

"If thing is done right, everything works fine!"
The problem is, no one can agree what "right" is, so it never works.
If you do less dense "right" it should work, too.

That they're outliers of what has been the norm for centuries is the entire point. Saying "this is the new normal" is, as you might surmise, normalizing it.

Ah yes, servers, generally being known as doing nothing and being very well compensated for it.

In Harvard University, there seems to be a spectrum- you can either be Mark Zuckerberg, Natalie Portman, or the goddamn Unabomber (Source: u/Kapanash on r/memes)
Weren't most of the early Simpsons writers Harvard grads, too?

I still have a positive view of the technology, it's the people who demand that they control every aspect of it that I'm weary of.

Capitalism is this. This was always the logical conclusion when wealth and success were so intrinsically linked.

I mean there's supply chain stuff, too. Isn't that why Toyota dragged it's feet so long? They were also pushing hydrogen over straight EV, weren't they?

I'm not saying one strategy was better but it certainly seems like one strategy was better
I mean, the borg kind of started the whole series when they killed Sisko's wife.
