    Not a chance. The process is too costly compared to oil-sands and fracking.

    You give us too much credit. Affecting perhaps (most would say certainly), but effecting? A tall order for us "insignificant-on-the-scale-of-the-universe" hominids.

    Affecting is emotional. Such as.. I was affected (was made happy) when Seamus comforted me during a difficult time in my life.
    Effect is causing a change which makes a different result. Like industry causing smog in cities like China which is technically a climate change caused by mankind.

    There are difficult arguments in the scale. Some people say it is insignificant compared to natural processes, whilst others say it is very significant compared ot the natural processes. Outright denial is silly though.
