Strictly speaking, with no change in orbit, the earth, as a total entity,
should be *cooling*.

The average crustal heat flow over the entire Earth is 87 miliwatts per square
meter ....

Paraphrasing from other sources:

... daily average of about 340 watts per square meter of solar radiation ...

... 2.4 Watts per square meter are at present rates of global warming due to
new man-made greenhouse gasses ....
.... radiative forcing due to increased water vapor induced by warming is not
included (in the above mentioned 2.4 Watts) ...

87 miliwatts is somewhat smaller then 2.4 watts.
