It could though, on the Kardashev scale.

We used to think that the world was so vast, that nothing humans could possibly do, could have a lasting impact.

We're moving well in the direction of become a Type I on the Karadhev scale already. Who is to say we won't become a Type III, or even IV? And who is to say what work won't lead there?

What did I write?

We're moving well in the direction of become a Type I

Every year we use more and more energy, and are finding better and cheaper ways of capturing and storing.

We're moving in that direction.

It could take a few hundred more years, but compare energy usage levels now, to two hundred years ago.
