What net heating is added to the Earth via hydrocarbon combustion and how does this compare to solar heating?

No politically correct BS please, only facts established through TRUE SCIENTIFIC studies.

The heat energy delivered by the sun dwarfs any heat energy release from hydrocarbon combustion.

The sun delivers about 1300W/m**2 at the edge of the atmosphere. The projected area of the earth is pi*R**2 where R = 6367km
A = pi*(6367e3)**2 = 1.27e14 m**2

P = 1300*1.27e14 = 165,000,000 GW

So, the sun delivers 165,000,000 Gigawatts of energy every second!
