You are underestimating amount of energy waste for bullshit jobs.
Its huge. Only a fraction of population handles those importand hi-tec jobs.
Majority of jobs are for services. And a lot of jobs are bullshit jobs, like:
lawyers, judges, our inflated financial jobs, politics, various govs jobs.
While those are needed for our complex society, they are very inflated these days.
You are right, even small greedy population can destroy world. And that the primary problem, greed. Thats why we have ever growing economy, because we need grow to have more and more. Thats dead end. Much better is to have stable environment that ups and downs.
Also, stop dreaming about weather control, its extremally complex system that is not yet understood (will ever be? I hope so). There are a lot of examples on earth where people wanted to control ecosystem and it ended badly. This is another problem. Someone popups with an idea or tech and everyone jumps on it, lets use it, not doing research about possible side effects and how to mitigate it. Great example: plastics.
As for empty space, its not really empty. Its importand ecosystems for this planets that sustain live there. In reality, there is no empty space on earth, if you take a look on whatever spot, there is life there, small or tiny and we are struggling to understand what role in ecosystem it have.
