You have to answer the following: Is the earth gaining, losing, or neutral with respect to total energy? That is one of the important boundary conditions. There is evidence that the earth is losing energy in the long term(tectonics). In the shorter term we burn fossil fuels and the sun pumps more energy into the system. When we run out of fossil fuels then we become net losers again. And we eventually will run out of steam. By that time we'll be back in the stone age so it won't matter too much.
