It's not a stupid question. And yes. It'd be fairly localized, but the absorption losses would be somewhat proportional to the amount of water in the air, so, uh, don't do this on a rainy day. But the climate effects are probably minimal -- the energy is getting turned into heat when the aircraft flies anyway to overcome air friction. It might also accidentally fry low-earth satellites.
