Does human body temperature impact global warming?

Humans typically radiate around 100W of heat, equivalent to an incandescent light

bulb. In a confined space, people�s body heat can raise the ambient temperature,
but on a global scale this effect is negligible, especially compared to the vast
amount of heat energy the planet receives from the Sun, for example.

In general, global warming is not caused by heat sources on Earth, but rather by
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which prevent heat (mostly from the Sun) from
dissipating into space. As humans, we therefore have a far greater impact on the
climate through burning fossil fuels and therefore creating greenhouse gases than
we do from our body heat.
