Chapter IVa: Climate issues, part 1

Some people think that the solutions to the climate troubles are to reflect the surplus energies away, perhaps all the way to outer space... Here's some corrections that prove that can't be done, and that the article in the end of this part GOT IT ALL WRONG:

Ice reflects the radiations from the sun - not effectively to outer space, but to the surrounding air and moisture (clouds) that bring the hotter weather systems with the currents to other places, that heat up. Reflected rays to outer space from ice (in Arctic or Antarctic) are mostly of low frequency.

Collections of hotter air that gather instead of spreading doesn't solve anythiing! Rather, it cause more melting or heating were the air isn't so cold (and dense). Same goes for concrete building and asphalt roads that likewise give more uniform heating of surroundings - hot currents from cities are the main problem!

Analogic: A butterfly can't cause a storm on the other side of Earth - but rather prevent the storm by dividing up the surplus energies (turbulence and heat). More organisms (plants and animals, big and small) to divide up energies means less turbulence and more spread out of heat. Realize this, folks!
