I've been preaching about the reflectivity of snow for 20 years. I'd expect this from Neal deGrasse Tyson. Wish I had the other half of my brain.

Very interesting. Perhaps I can talk Mrs Syd into a fabric roof. Hmm.

Will we see homes that look like they're being fumigated under a tent? 30 deg. drop is big.

Now someone is going to have to check to see how much pollution is created during mfg. of the fabric.

pollution during manufacturing is easily offset by having it made in China or India. Nobody worries about the pollution coming from them, just Western Europe and North America it seems.

Magic cooling fabric house covering is a great idea for summer here in the South. Not so much for winter.

Perfect for winter. Think wind chill.

Sun helps heat homes in winter. Wind chill not a big factor unless living in a tent IMHO.
