It's heat, you can't send it anywhere except by thermodynamic processes. You can't beam heat to space. A beam of infrared is not heat, it is high quality free energy.

Let's say we point that beam at the moon. The Moon gets warmer. So in this thermodynamic system Earth-Moon if Moon gets warmer, the Earth gets colder.
