Every night temperatures drop much more than the temperature increases from the hydrocarbon consumption. Are you sure that the energy of the hydrocarbons is the problem and not the greenhouse effect?
Things could get very bad, but it also turns out that plankton and plate tectonics have locked carbon/energy far away from our reach. It's a very slight glimmer of hope.
