Yes, even if we remove carbon emissions entirely, if we continue to grow at a modest 2.8% a year energy usage or whatever, then in around 400 years we’ll boil the surface of the earth just from emissive heat without any additional greenhouse effect at all. Eventually humanity’s energy usage is going to have to flatline. And people really really don’t like that idea, but even solar energy has this problem. That’s still energy being captured that mostly would have reflected back out into space.
