Also, the amount of energy converted from solar to chemical energy will be a small effect compared to the reduction in greenhouse warming resulting from taking CO2 out of the atmosphere (much like burning coal doesn't release much energy compared to the increase in greenhouse effect warming), so you don't even have the right negative feedback.

Even relatively small amounts of the gas can warm the Earth by the greenhouse effect, perhaps affecting the climate.

Methane, the main component of natural gas, is much more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, so even small amounts of it contribute significantly to global warming.
