People have actually done a lot; we've shifted from a path where were likely to see 4°C or more by 2100 to one where we're likely to see something like 3°C by then.

Light pollution hasn't really changed (though it does increase in December every year)

What has changed is a social phenomenon of people taking photos of ordinary stuff, such as planets, stars, or commercial aircraft, posting it to social media, and telling others that it's nefarious drones. This creates social contagion of the idea and action, as others do the same.
