Einstein Refrigerator: Can it prevent global cooling?

It looks like the Albert Einstein Refrigerator or simply known as the Einstein Refrigerator is making a comeback. The early invention by Einstein has been rebuilt at Oxford University by scientists, they are basically trying to develop and environmentally refrigerator that runs without electricity, this is why I ask “Can it prevent global cooling?

Just a little recap of the invention: The Einstein refrigerator is simply an absorption refrigerator and the good thing about this refrigerator is that it has no moving parts; the only thing it requires is a heat source to operate it. This invention was a joint project way back in 1926 by Albert Einstein himself and his former student Leó Szilárd, it was patented on November 11, 1930 (U.S. Patent 1,781,541 ).

This invention is just pure brilliance and would be something we should all look forward too, and if it does prevent global cooling then I am well up for this idea. For more information on the Einstein Refrigerator please visit here.
