For 10,000 times less NRE use than today you'll find no significant global cooling, because our present actual heat contribution is negligible compared to the Sun's. In the present global warming episode we provide the thermal insulation as the byproduct of a tiny bit of the heating, the Sun provides the bulk of the heating. In my computation I assume the excess greenhouse gas problem has been solved.
