regarding you deck, if you get one of those Sunsetter retractable awnings, it will lower the temp 20 F
The thing that got me started thinking about all this was feeling the direct gain when I walk outside onto the deck. I can see why folks think all heat comes from the sun but it seems to me it ain’t so. So I started wondering just what the percentage is and it seemed there was evidence that the fraction coming from the core may be considerable. If that is the case it even further diminishes the claims of AGW.
