Then a flight plan will be uploaded to the Tet style drones to carry on their duties.
Having a transparent battlefield doesn't necessitate an increase or decrease in casualties.
In Ukraine it’s relatively rare for large numbers of troops to be concentrated, because each side knows its opponents would observe the formation and make it a priority target. This makes something like the battle of the Somme unlikely to be repeated.
In call of duty do casualties go up when both sides have UAVs, compared to when both are without?
Are there any other games updating their play style to recognize the heavy use of drones in war now?

No, people "working" on it are intellectually amusing themselves with technology that could be a workable solution if only everyone actually took action and reduced their consumption, which doesn't need that technology in the first place. Pretty much all mainstream solutions are just psychological salves to make us think we are doing something.
Working on it, yeah right. We simply need to make significant reductions in CO2 output and no one is doing that.
Furthermore, technologies like this will make people less likely to do something about the root problem because it ameliorates it.

Gee, I wonder why no one's thought about that except you.
Maybe because it's actually incredibly difficult to do

It's incredibly difficult in the same sense that it's "incredibly difficult" for a teenager to clean their bedroom. They could do it, and they will if forced to, but they'll drag their feet as much as possible.

Aren’t earthquakes completely unrelated to climate change?
And hurricanes have happened long before climate change.
And flooding.
No matter what, this is a good technology to have and develop.

This is an absolute minefield of statistics to get into. 90% of all disasters are influenceable by climate change (not an earthquake or volcanic eruption for example). Of that 90%, almost all are currently exacerbated - either in scope, size, or frequency- by climate change.
The IPCC releases a fairly accessible 20 page summary [0], including high-quality citations, and levels-of-confidence. That document gives a good overview of the scale of this problem. It's not reasonable to say that there are 100% more disasters now than there were before anthropogenic climate change. It is reasonable to say that >50% of natural disasters are noticeably exacerbated by anthropogenic climate change.
