100% of the heat we get from the sun is currently lost as waste heat, by one means or another. So you're not boiling the oceans by any reasonable projection of energy usage increase of solar energy.

(yes yes some of it is reflected back into space as non-IR light, but you can also lose IR-emissions back into space without heating the Earth as well).

Most of that incoming heat is reflected / radiated off actually. It doesn't "stay" on Earth.

That is literally what I said.

My apologies then, I understood your comment differently!
