I would say worse than that, we are doing the opposite of large-scale terraforming to create a planet that will be rather inhospitable towards the end of this century and even less so in the centuries that follow. I think the sci-fi delusion is a hold over from a better time; the heyday was probably the 50's-60's when scientific progress seems like it was much greater and was actually able to translate into benefits for people that were noticeable.
Yeah, and nobody cares, nobody seems to notice, seemingly people who have the power to steer things the right way are totally lobotomized. It's just like in Cyberpunk, where the power couple's brain is getting rewired by "entities", because they go against the flow.
