Compared to natural temperature changes in the past (not to mention natural seasonal and diurnal changes), the Earth is warming only very slightly and very slowly, not "rapidly."

Anything absorbing radiation is thereby warmed by it. Period.
Wavelength is irrelevant.
Temperatures of emitter & absorber are also irrelevant.† They affect emission rates, but not absorption.

The warming effect of radiation depends only on its power density, and whether it is absorbed. It does not depend on its wavelength or the temperature of the thing which emitted it.

Can you guess what the most common major source of 12.236 cm radiation is?
