Death from global famine seems to be the harsher alternative to nuclear exchange, and what we expect to be the primary driver of the climate-based population correction.

Star Trek writers batting 1000 so far, please please please let them be wrong about the nuclear horror.
Can’t you feel it? The threads of global tension snapping with a deafening blast? The ravenous chantings of Mars cutting through the ambient noise?
Mars, where you go to die of cancer while under the rule of a racist narcissistic libertarian billionaire with a savior complex, and his Nazi buddies.

I, too, favor a future in which Starfleet is entirely manned by Data.
If Starfleet was slightly less ethically constrained regarding the more advanced uses of transporter technology, Starfleet could totally arrange it.
/agree
But I doubt it.
Should be around time for WWIII
I’m just hoping I get vaporized rather than slowly irradiated to death
