Given that the excess energy did come from nuclear power plant (the sun) over millions of years I think that is a really apt way to look at things.

Interesting coincidence that you ended up with 3 million years, given life appeared on earth about 3.7 million years ago.

The increase in temperature is since 1990 though.

As a useful milestone, dinosaurs were wiped out 65 million years ago. Long time. First hominids, 2 Mya?

First evidence of hominids goes back almost six millions years [1] and first tools over three millions years ago [2]
