A method and device for transmitting thermal energy from the surface of the earth into deep space to assist in the alleviation of global warming. The method comprises arranging a thermal energy transmitting material over a terrestrial object, and, positioning said thermal energy transmitting material so that a transmitting surface thereof faces deep space, said material having spectral surface properties of high emissivity in a spectral band substantially transparent to the atmosphere of the earth. The device comprises a thermal energy transmitting material designed to cover a terrestrial object and positioned with a transmitting surface thereof facing deep space, said transmitting material having spectral surface properties of high emissivity in a spectral band substantially transparent to the atmosphere of the earth. |
