Energy released as heat to the environment is currently a rounding error compared to heat trapped due to CO2 emissions.


Ok, but CO2 is another output of human activities, can we increase energy expenditure while lowering CO2 emissions? (it’s not a rethoric question, I don’t know the answer)


Of course, as long as you're not burning carbon.

I believe heat pollution would only become an issue once we start using several orders of magnitude more energy than we do now.
