One can take that to mean "the point furthest from the pole" I guess. East and west you can use 0 and 180 longitude as reference points*.

Possibly pumping massive amounts of electrical current into the drill which would offer resistance.... basically turning the entire bit into a large heating element.

That's how the natural cycle works when CO2 is a feedback mechanism, not a driver. Unfortunately, taking carbon out of the ground and putting it into the atmosphere 1 million times faster than it gets deposited turns that cycle on its head and CO2 becomes a driver of climate change. We know it is fossil carbon that is going into the atmosphere because the isotope ratios are changing. This also shows up in the ocean carbonate shells also are absorbing CO2 dissolved in the ocean. We can also tell that much of it is from burning because we can also look at the oxygen content of the atmosphere and it is also decreasing in proportion to the amount of CO2 added.

I know the addition is not natural. I am saying it will not cause significant warming, and that what warming their is will not be catastrophic.

In 1990, the IPCC First Assessment Report acknowledged that "Human-made aerosols, from sulphur emitted largely in fossil fuel combustion can modify clouds and this may act to lower temperatures", while "a decrease in emissions of sulphur might be expected to increase global temperatures". Since the 1980s, a decrease in air pollution has led to a partial reversal of the dimming trend, sometimes referred to as global brightening. This global brightening had contributed to the acceleration of global warming which began in the 1990s. n 2020, COVID-19 lockdowns provided a notable "natural experiment", as there had been a marked decline in sulfate and black carbon emissions caused by the curtailed road traffic and industrial output. That decline did have a detectable warming impact: it was estimated to have increased global temperatures by 0.01-0.02 °C (0.018-0.036 °F) initially and up to 0.03 °C (0.054 °F) by 2023, before disappearing. Regionally, the lockdowns were estimated to increase temperatures by 0.05-0.15 °C (0.090-0.270 °F) in eastern China over January-March, and then by 0.04-0.07 °C (0.072-0.126 °F) over Europe, eastern United States, and South Asia in March-May, with the peak impact of 0.3 °C (0.54 °F) in some regions of the United States and Russia.
