Source? Compare to how much heat we receive from the sun I doubt our activity adds much heat.

- hutzlibu 10y agoAt the moment not really, yes. But he was speaking of the possible scenario with unlimited avaiable energy and therefore much more energy spending ... but I also don't see this as a real concern. Global Human energy output would have to increase by many numbers to make a significant impact.
