Letter: New greenhouse

Published 10 September 2014

From Bob Hinge

Steven Ashley describes schemes to generate electricity from Earth’s infrared emissions (23 August, p 38). Surely if these emissions take heat from Earth into space, then capturing and converting them into electricity (and ultimately, to heat) will be a very effective greenhouse effect, perhaps even more effective than that of carbon dioxide?
