Should have linked that instead! This is 5.7 deg (using metasurfaces to selectively reflect reflect absorb different wavelengths) compared to a less fancy 4.9 deg from their seminal paper (2014) https://www.nature.com/articles/nature13883 Maybe comparable cooling can be achieved with even cheaper techniques..?

The interesting implication is that PV has more upside growth potential than nuclear, against the ultimate limit of global thermal pollution.
