Global warming isn't really about heat per se, it's about heat retention. It's the green house gasses reflecting back the latent infrared energy preventing it from escaping to space.

Adding more heat doesn't change the equation, it's how much we retain.

And mostly, it is heat retention of solar radiation rather than heat caused by consuming fuel on earth.
