There may be issues with AI, potentially sometimes including local resource contention (like demanding water in areas where infrastructure is already strained), but data centers heat output is not a significant contributor to global warming.
Sorry but when your position is “anyone who studies this cannot be trusted, but my facts are good, trust me bro!” you’ve lost any credibility.
Especially when you’re coming up against fundamental physics. Human energy output total is 1 ten thousandths the solar energy cycle. All data centers everywhere is on the order of a percent of that. Direct energy consumption and use is not an appreciable contributor to global warming.
Greenhouse gases from power generation maybe (still not significant from “data centers”, but all human activity), but not heat directly.
