Dont see how that contributes to global warming or climate change.

Well, I'm not really sure, but I do know it would take about 92 sq. miles to power the USA. Going about the world would be much harder. Solar panels today are 100% efficient, more like 10-20% efficient, so we would need more land than if the panels were 100% efficient. It would really be hard to tell since not all panels would be the same at all times of the day, month, season, etc.
Even so, it would create problems with global warming and then we would have to find something else and so on...

more than there are square miles available on Earth. Solar is not reliable enough to "power the world", nor is there capability to generate enough.
