How much wind power can we extract before we disrupt the global wind circulation and thus the climate regulation by winds?
Is no one worried about this?

We'll hit other constraints long before that happens.
There may be some local effects. I think the main one is one cluster of wind turbines effecting the output of nearby clusters (and effects within a cluster). Pretty sure they account for this when engineering wind farms, with the effects actively being studied.
