Well , I ' m certainly convinced . <| sep |> A majority of people . <| sep |> Starboy is a good album <| sep |> Autocorrect doesn ' t like it either . It changes it to ' should be '.<| sep |> If we ignore the impact of the greenhouse effect , then heating the earth would not be a problem at all . Any extra heat that raises the temperature of the Earth , would increase the rate of heat transfer to space from the Earth and the Earth would go back to being in thermal equilibrium , receiving as much energy as it outputs at a given equilibrium temp . The issue as others have pointed out , is that the reason the Earth can reach a more or less stable equilibrium is because of the atmosphere and the differential radiative heat transfer that the greenhouse effect provides . That ' s why the composition of the atmosphere is much more important to the overall temperature of the Earth than the amount of heat that is delivered to the surface . The composition of the atmosphere changes the equilibrium temperature while an addition of some heat like the running of millions of engines , or a solar flare only temporarily moves the temperature up before equilibrium is established again .
