> 0.6-0.8 * Petawatts * of extra energy circulating What is that as a percentage of total energy circulating? The number by itself is meaningless - the Earth is large, it has a lot of energy, that's not news.
Taking my main source's figure for the number of calories per hour that we're adding (2x10^17 calories aka 4x10^17 joules), that suggests that we are causing enough extra heat to be retained to raise the atmospheric temperature 1C every 9000 hours or roughly every year.
