That doesn’t follow. Consider the alternatives - thermal generation (including nuclear) must reject massive amounts of waste heat into the atmosphere, before the electricity is used and heat is generated from that use. That’s what cooling towers are designed to do.
That’s even before thinking about the effect from CO₂ or methane from gas fugitive emissions.
The earth has the ability to radiate away quite considerable amounts of heat luckily, and solar produces considerably less waste heat than thermal. So solar and wind can only make things better.
Minimising waste heat is of course good, which is why energy efficiency is so important, and heat pumps are doubly so - because they are extremely efficient, but also because they don’t produce as much heat but transfer most of it!
