I can show you a simple energy balance equation that can prove we have the power to change the Earth. Calculating the optical depth change in the CO2, adding in the water vapour abundance increase and associated opacity increase for vapour (water is a slave system since it's in vapour pressure equilibrium), you can easily notch up a few K surface temp change. No arrogance, just simple physics. Or the same kind of arrogance it took to get people to the moon. Whichever way you want to view it.
