See, I don't exactly know if this is correct or not. The suns energy is mechanical energy and it shines down on some wood and starts heating it up. the wood starts burning and that is chemical energy. Check with someone else to make sure it is correct.

All these activities are carbon-neutral, that is they contribute no additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. You might think burning a campfire contributes to climate change because burning anything releases carbon. However, the carbon released from a campfire was recently taken from the atmosphere when the wood was growing, so it doesn't add extra CO2 like coal and oil do.The answer is burning a campfire, but only because of the additional heat produced by the fire, and the warming effect of smoke particulates in the atmosphere (which absorb heat from the sun).
