If all of mankind’s energy was supplied through solar panels would the effect be big enough to decrease the temperature (since light is converted in part to electricity)?

    Just saying “watts staying underground” is a poor explanation. That’s an insignificant amount of energy compared to what the sun is delivering and what’s being trapped by CO2. “Carbon staying underground” is much more the priority.

      Which is why I clarified for someone what someone else likely meant…

      I’m not sure what you’re doing here, do you want me to go complain to the person who first used that phrasing on your behalf?
