I’m in for the night so have time to correct some (more) of your errors. When light moves from air to glass, almost all light is transmitted except at very high incidence...

When you modify the temperature of your environment you are doing it to survive and/or to change what you don’t like. If Indians in cold climates liked being cold, they...

LOL. SMH. Guess someone isn’t reading my posts before responding. Of course a systematic review. It’s what I posted to counter unsubstantiated opinions you and others hold.

Oh. So your unsubstantiated opinion with made up numbers has more value than a systematic review of 116 published works on the subject. Sorry. Going with science in this one.

We aren’t discussing the future. We are discussing 116 studies that showed rooftop solar increases the heat island effect. I use solar power. I’ll add a lot more in the next...

You don’t have to wonder. The studies are very clear. You are assuming you can observe all wavelengths. The wavelengths of light NOT reflected heat the panels because the...
