According to this: https://scholarsandrogues.com/2013/05/09/csfe-heat-capacity-air-ocean/ https://scholarsandrogues.com/2013/05/09/csfe-heat-capacity-... it would require 6e21 J (1 BTU ~= 1000J) to heat the entire atmosphere by 1°C, so just 6e18 BTU, so with our consumption that would be 1/10 of that, so on the order of 0.1°C extra per year (assuming no sinks)?
On another note, this would also imply that if all of the excess energy stored in the ocean (20e22J, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_heat_content#/media/File:1955-_Ocean_heat_content_-_NOAA.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_heat_content#/media/File...) would be dumped into the atmosphere at once, it would warm up by 33°C
