Comment on Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps?
Eheran@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoJust note that the released energy of burning fossils (or nuclear) is orders of magnitude below what the sun does. It really is only the CO2 from coal that does the heating, since it acts like insulation.

Yeah, that explanation is bizarre. CO2 and other greenhouse gases are the issue, not heat released from combustion. If those gases could somehow be eliminated you could burn coal and other fossil fuels without any significant consequence in terms of warming the earth. The sun is doing the overwhelming majority of heating.
