Um, it's only hubris if it's wrong (and evidence suggests we _can_, so this argument is irrelevant). And what's hubris for a single person is not hubris for a global civilization. And it's clearly _not_ an act of hubris to think we can have _some_ outsized effects on the world around us (say, nuclear bombs affecting weather global weather patterns in measurable ways). And it's only hubris to think that because we can do this that we _should_.
These claims of humanity's hubris are wishful self-denial but they have no grounding in any kind of logic besides an emotional need to retreat from responsibility.
