Eric, where do you think that waste heat ends up?

Have you ever been on the roof top of a large building and stood near the cooling towers of the AC system?

Sorry; once again that's just your opinion.

It's physics. Learn some.

Show me some physicists who have published research that says heat from devices contributes to global warming. I haven't seen one article, post or website that says this, ever.

Speaking of AC systems though, it is quite established that more efficient heating and cooling systems and other building energy conservation methods save energy. That contributes to climate change reduction.

Uh, Eric, heat, AKA infrared energy is just another form of electromagnetic radiation. Any number of processes generates these waves/photons[light]. You won't find much on anthropogenic infrared electromagnetic waves/photons because they in the larger scheme of things don't come close to CO2. CO2 does its dirty deeds by trapping infrared "light" and preventing it from escaping to outer space. So... Solar and anthropogenic infrared light just bounces off CO2 molecules and gets stuck. I'll also agree with you that conservation is an excellent way to reduce CO2 emissions.  Also, did ya know that water vapor,CFC's, and methane are also greenhouse gases?

Here's an example of technology that works to dissipate infrared light from structures : http://www.livescience.com/57902-magic-f...dings.html

So, there's your URL, man.
