I was just reading this story about plans to build massive solar farms in the North African deserts and it got me to thinking...
Today, the sun burns down on the desert land, heating the ground and this heat then radiates back into the air at night.
If you start to harvest this heat then the natural heating and warming cycle will cease, and I'm wondering if that could have some negative impact to the climate that makes the desert an obvious choice for a solar farm!?!?
