Everybody’s going to tell you “no, it’s way too big”.
I’d just like to point out that this is basically what we’ve answered throughout all of our history.
“Is irrigation going to affect the river flow ?”
“Is cutting a few trees going to affect forests ?”
“Is dumping shit in water going to affect the quality of it and the marine life that live in it ?”
“Is burning hydrocarbons going to affect the air?”
Humans always think that big = unlimited, and were quite often surprised by the scale of our own endeavors.
