Zero is not a drop. Zero is zero. Zero times a hundred million is still zero. And if we start talking in far off hypotheticals - buildout of green power AI datacenters can be even argued to be *good* for climate as their demand accelerates buildout of the green grid and they also push the non-green datacenters out of the market. Sadly movie quotes (just like doomsday rethoric) are not good analogies for understanding complex topics.
