Why are you so opposed to the idea of radiant cooling?
I don't understand what you are talking about. If you read what I said, the sand cool quickly because of its low heat capacity. That cooling is can be from radiant heat loss, I never said it was not. Obviously you have both factors at play.
You do realize that, Hollywood stereotypes aside, desert != sand, right?
Can't you freaking read? I specifically was talking about sand. Pay attention and don't get so defensive. Clouds = moisture in the air..
