In that case, your remaining roof is not white. Now get out there and paint it white. Or glue aluminium foil over it.

What you ignored is that those electrons heat the air, but do it at ground level instead of up in the air where the radiated heat is absorbed. So those electrons do greater heating than if the roof was coated in aluminium or was uniform in the existing colour.

That physics might be a bit hard for you to understand. But give it a go.

If your roof is as well-insulated as you claimed, there is no passive heating in winter by incoming solar. If you are in a cold place, forget about such heating and get the insulation right. You'll be cool in summer and keep the heat in during winter.

Not many Global Alarmists actually understand the physics they blather on about.

When you make claims like "it's well insulated" and "the passive heating is great", you are saying conflicting things.
