Heat Pollution 25% of Global Warming

Heat Pollution (also called in climatology forcing) is the increase in global warming primarily from our energy use and urbanization. These are highly correlated to population growth. The larger our population, the more energy we use and the larger our cities and towns grow. There are three major sources of heat pollution:

· Man Made Green house Gases: This causes about 43.5% of global warming [8]

· Solar Heating of manmade (Impermeable) surfaces: This causes about 3.25% of global warming [3, 5, 8]

· Direct Heat ( i.e., heating your home or or turning on your oven): This causes about 3.25% of global warming and is called anthropogenic heat release (AHR) [3, 5, 8]

· Environmental Feedback is about 50% of Global Warming. Feedback about doubles Heat Pollution

Solar Geoengineering: (Published suggestion by the Author)

· All roofs to be 25% reflective or greater.

· Roofs in warm climates, 85% reflective where solar heat absorption is not needed for heating homes.

· All roads to be 35% reflective or greater

· All building sides to be 25% reflective or greater

· All cars to be 85% reflective or greater

· Assessing fines for adding heat pollution

· Improving city designs to reduce heat pollution

· Plans to include Earth brightening and Sun diming [8,9]

· Reduction of greenhouse gasses

· Redesign of the Paris Accord to provide safeguard assurances

· Use a white roof and house color, brighten your driveway, ensure you are >30% reflective

· Contact your congressman on regulation against black roads and roof tops

Negative Solar Geoengineering Examples: Unfortunately, there are is bad behavior not just with energy use but also with simple color choice. Dark colors create solar heat which contributes to some global warming. Before we can mitigate global warming with positive solar geoengineering, we need to stop the negative behavior first.
