I sit in a hot office and think about this. I am not sure where to ask. I am genuinely curious. I have seen a breakdown of building solar panels to power the earth 2x over in order to recapture carbon equal to the rate it is being produced, but then areas of the earth that were reflective are now absorbtive of heat…
Most are, and still fall in the trap of replacing when repair would be cheaper in the long run. I still miss my 33 yo car that got totalled.
