Yes, Arch may be less bloated than, say, Ubuntu, but are you really going to notice or care that your system is idling at 1.2 GB of RAM usage instead of 800 MB?
Not all, but most of it is from infrared, with a little under half of all light recieved from the sun being infrared.* But yes, we would lose our only source of renewable energy and eventually either freeze or starve to death.
