TNO = trans neptunian object, basically far out dwarf planet

Obviously there would be less sun to greenhouse, but theoretically could that be a way to have closer-to-earth habitats far away from a star?

edit: the TNO does not have to be like Pluto, it can be bigger or have different conditions

    The greenhouse effect won’t even start if the greenhouse gases are frozen on the surface

      So what if there is a temporary heat source (nuke or something) or it originated from closer to the sun?

        Intuitively I would assume that a single event would either not release enough energy to start a feedback loop or destroy the planet altogether, but I have no idea how to calculate that.
