Do areas like, say, Death Valley reflect energy (heat) in such a 
way that it can escape into space? Obviously light can get out else
you couldn't see the land masses from space but heat is a much longer
wave than visible light. My reason for asking is: if sunlight comes in
a window, more energy comes in than escapes by reflection. If this is true
in the case of Death Valley then you wouldn't increase the heat load
of the planet. Please; no flames. If I'm wrong send me a letter telling
me why.
