Agrivoltaics, saving farms

You tell me, you are the one who believes that fossil fuel use is warming the planet.

I calculated if we cover 1% of the planet's land surface with solar panels that will be enough to take the planet from 0.6 w/m^2 net warming to -0.1 w/m^2 net cooling.

Why will reducing solar radiation reflected back to space cool the planet?
 
There's no incremental change in waste heat when replacing fossil fuels with solar. You are replacing generating methods. You are replacing a generating method which produces waste heat which creates a localized warming with one that captures solar energy and creates a localized cooling. But the waste heat from usage of electricity stays the same.

The net cooling measured at the solar farms by satellites takes everything into account. The cooling effect at the solar farms is due to photons being converted into electricity.

Now balance the equation.
 
Waste heat doesn't warm the planet?
Is that your answer to why you believe not using fossils will cool the planet? Waste heat. So is it your belief that the planet is warming because of waste heat from fossil fuels?

That might be an even dumber thing to say than not using fossil fuels will cool the planet. seriously, this is getting funnier and funnier. You believe the planet is warming because we burn fossil fuels and if we stop burning fossil fuels the planet will cool. Hilarious.

That's a dumb thing to say. Good thing that's not what I am saying.

Tell me more about your belief that burning fossil fuels is why the planet is warming and if we stop burning fossil fuels the planet will start cooling. How much will the planet cool if we stop burning fossil fuels? That's so dumb.
 
Using solar will not cool the planet.
Quit defending solar. If enough solar panels are installed it will shift the planet from net warming by 0.6 w/m^2 (net warming) to -0.1 w/m^2 (net cooling).

Generating electricity with fossil fuels creates localized warming. Generating electricity from solar creates localized cooling. Is this why you said:
Using zero fossil fuel will cool the planet.

Now you're running away from your second confused claim? Hilarious!

It is dumb and it is what you're saying.

Right after you explain to me how not burning fossil fuels will cool the planet. The planet is not warming because of fossil fuels, dummy.

You want me to explain your claim? LOL!
 
Amazing. No wonder you are such a pimp for solar. You're one of those morons who wants the planet to be colder in the middle of an ice age.

And you're the moron who thinks solar panels will cool the planet.

Explain your marvelous refutation of conservation of energy.
 
Waste heat doesn't warm the planet?
No. It's a very small component. It's not the reason the planet is warming and if we stop burning fossil fuels that won't make the planet start cooling. So you are an idiot for saying that.
Using zero fossil fuel will cool the planet.

The planet is warming because it naturally warms as the northern hemisphere deglaciates after a glacial period has ended which is what is happening today. It's happened at least 30 times over the past 3 million years.

if we stop burning fossil fuels that won't make the planet start cooling.

But replacing fossil fuels with lower albedo solar panels will?

At least I can back up my statement. You on the other hand say stupid stuff like the planet will cool if fossil fuels are no longer burned without any explanation whatsoever. That's EMH level idiocy right there.

No, you can't, because you didn't show where the energy goes.

You tell me. You're the idiot that believes the planet is warming because of fossil fuels.
