Is the claim that launching a ton of payload by launch loop heats the earth more than launching a ton by rockets? That is very hard to believe. To a first approximation, the energy savings of the launch loop are heat savings.
Or is the claim that launching enough payload to make a launch loop worthwhile is too much heat, either way?
What, exactly, is the claim?

Good point. Hmm, now I’m confused.
