I think that the earth does NOT radiate as much energy back into space as it receives from the sun. All of those thermodynamic changes of structure use up energy, there is actual calories lost. The waste heat is less then the heat that drove the generally endothermic effects. Life on average is endothermic and there are many life processes that are using up that energy and spitting out waste but the waste is not equal to the input energy. Also a lot of energy gets used evaporating the ocean only for it to rain right back into the ocean. That is a major energy sink and it also has interplay with atmospheric gasses and the order of stuff in the ocean, salinity and minerals, and heat and currents, all effected by the sun and its secondary effects. Life uses a lot of energy as well.
