I'd like to see a calculation for how long the world could rely on geothermal before they needed to stop to prevent the Earth's interior from cooling so much that Earth loses its protective magnetic field.
geothermal heat is harnessing energy from nuclear decay and energy left over from the formation. It is not from the sun.
EDIT But seriously. I remember years ago going to a residential GT workshop encouraging private heat sink wells hosted by some boomer reformed hippies. When I asked if there were any studies on the effect of subsurface heat exchange on things like ground water temperatures or different subsurface materials one of the presenters waved it off saying it was probably fine and the other honestly admitted that they didn't know, and that that should probably give us pause before encouraging 200 homes in a square mile all sink wells.
Atmosphere on the other hand is very thin and mostly concentrated close to surface (half is under 5km) so it's much easier for humans to fuck it up
