I doubt it's any worse than the other mountains of waste we produce. I'd wager it'd barely even register.

At first yeah, it would be fairly insignificant, but if you ever stood close to these things you know how huge they are... It's not easy to move them around and I don't think we've found much use for the materials they are made of to recycle them. Also we are supposed to reduce these mountains of waste not use them as a justification to waste even more.

But regardless, I am sure one people will realise how much we already fucked the climate as more and more extreme weather events pop around, we'll see more focus on renewables or at least carbon neutral sources. I think the most appealing source atm is nuclear which, although not renewable, it has a fairly small CO2 footprint, tiny size, huge and stable output and there are even reactors that can "burn" their waste to further increase their efficiency.
