It’s both.
We’ve modified the gaseous mixture of the atmosphere to include a higher ratio of gases with greater warming potential and also converted matter which was stored in the ground to energy for our purposes, both increasing its stored energy potential and the amount of energy stored in both the atmosphere and the ocean, slowly warming both over time compared to before the Industrial Revolution.
Also don’t worry about the downvotes. We can’t actually downvote direct responses to our own comments here, only upvote if we so choose, so I don’t know why you were downvoted either. If you participate with good faith in discussions, it’ll be apparent over time and it’s bad form (and counter to the guidelines, which I’m violating with this paragraph right now) to discuss voting in the comments.

Hah, yea i'm familiar it's against guidelines. Though i'm always very curious, because often i can change my behavior to be better inline with what people expect. Asking ignorant questions here is a bit troublesome imo. I don't mind downvotes, i'd just love if people explained what they disagreed with - especially questions. /shrug
