Summer vs winter picture, not a very honest take
It would look the same for any commercial building - a warehouse, shopping center (would be even worse), etc.
No need to be disingenuous, it just weakens the argument and gives someone who disagrees with you valid ammunition.
Destroying a forest area for a concrete jungle is never a good thing
Housing developments and apartment blocks are built on former forests in a similar timeframe too
At least here in the US the people arguing against data centers are also against housing developments and want to reduce urban sprawl (by say tearing down all the empty malls and building apartments there for example). At least that's what it seems like to me, someone against the never ending suburbia.
Same
How so? Not like the data center will wilted away after the winter and trees grow back on spring.
