Depends how it is you think of it.
It doesn't contribute to any significant change in the climate for us humans.
However, it will effect the climate for the life-forms in the ground you're drilling to insert pipes.

∙ 12y agoGeothermal energy does not cause global warming nor does it have any contribution to it, apart from a small amount in the building of the power station. Geothermal energy uses the natural heat from the centre of the earth. This heat is usually transferred to water to cause steam. This steam then turns turbines to generate electricity, without any carbon emissions.

What type of energy do not contribute to climate change?
Renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel) does not contribute carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What energy contributes the least to climate change?
Geothermal
Do wind energy contribute to climate change?
No, wind turbines are pollution free, and make no contribution to climate change. (Apart from carbon dioxide emissions from manufacture and installation, which are counterbalanced by the electricity of a few months of energy production.)
What are solutions for climate change in the Andes?
Climate change is a global happening, so the solution for the Andes is the same solution for everywhere. We have to stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and we have to stop deforestation. We use fossil fuels for transport and to make electricity. We have to change to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel). This will generate non-polluting electricity, and with electricity we can do anything. Electricity will power cars, trains, even planes and power all our industries and kitchens as well.
Does using solar energy contribute to the global climate change?
Using solar energy, such as solar panels, does not contribute to global climate change. Solar panels use silicon chips to convert the sunlight into electricity. Electricity is good and is not harmful to the environment at all. What is harmful to the environment is huge amounts of carbon dioxide which cause global warming. Most electricity is produced by burning coal which lets off a lot of carbon dioxide. However, using a solar panel does not create any emissions whatsoever and actually benefits the environment because you are using less electricity made from coal.
Which energy source contributes the least to climate change?
the answer to this is geothermal

How geothermal energy may be used as a substitute for fossil fuels?
Not a lot of places on the earth have access to geothermal energy, however where it is geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity. Electricity can do anything that fossil fuels can do, from powering a train, to heating a building, to driving a motor bicycle. It is also renewable, emitting no pollution, so it is good for reducing the threat of global warming and climate change.
What is believed to contribute directly to climate change and the rising of the earth's temperature?
The burning of fossil fuels in transport, industry and electricity generation, which releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas directly causing global warming and climate change.
How does the depletion of the ozone layer contribute to climate change?
Depletion of ozone alters ecosystem. This then alters the climate change.
Which energy source contributes the most to climate change?

How do scientists change geothermal energy into electricity?
Geothermal energy manifests by ejecting steam from the ground. This steam is piped to a power plant where it is injected to turbines that are coupled to electric generators.
