Potentially it would be colder, there are theories that the earth's interior radiates heat due to the breakdown of Uranium.

there is no question about this, if the earth contained no radioactive material it would be cold and sterile. there would be only land forms,the earth would not be habitable. radioactive isotopes provided heat in the primitive years for bacterial growth, it spawned terraforming, movement of platetectonics, geotermal hotsprings, the driving force of life is from the termal forces of heat which are inside our earth and still generating heat.....just look at the moon?
