Well "heat" is not an object. Its a concept. An activity. Thermal energy. Vibration of molecules. When molecules vibrate faster you have more heat. When you get down to zero Kelvins matter cannot coalesce and it disintegrates.Yeah, why can't we vent the heat into space?
But you need molecules. They have to be there, exist.
Gravity pulls everything back down to earth, gravity even bends electromagnetic radiation to a small degree. You cant just push matter off the earth. You need tons of energy to defy gravity and send it out of our orbit. And getting rid of matter from earth is pointless. We have 100 septillion tons of matter. No point in burning it off.
What we need to do it turn hot air into electricity. But nobody has figured out a way to do it globally. The earth IS getting hotter, mostly the atmosphere. We just need a way to transfer thermal energy into something useful.
