Uhhhh... how reflective are they once they get dirty?

[webschooner]

Leftist moonbats should set the example by painting the top of their heads bright white.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I suppose it would be too much to ask for peer-reviewed research proving the thermal efficacy of white-washed roofs.

Only opponents of the AGW hoax are required to have peer-reviewed documentation.

True-believers are exempt from this formality.

[freespirited]

Yeah, and shouldn’t the Messiah stop riding around in a black limo, followed by a fleet of other black limos and SUVs?

[CharlotteVRWC]

We’ll have to turn the heat up in the winter.

Maybe we’ll have to paint the roofs white in the summer, and black in the winter.

[IbJensen]

Ruled by liberal (communist) pansies who haven’t a clue about economics, security, education or anything, but they want control of it all!

[Longdriver]

THAT’S RACIST!!!

[dragonblustar]

White!!! How racist!!!

[libertarian27]

"White Roofs Only?"

[Paine in the Neck]

AAC = Anthropogenic Albedo Crisis -—> snowball earth -—> we’re all gonna die!!!

[CPOSharky]

I have a white roof and a mess of trees. What do I get?

[freedompursuit]

Let me see...in the winter, when energy costs are the highest, wouldn’t we want a dark roof to capture all the heat from any sun possible????

Leftist moonbats should set the example by painting the top of their heads bright white.

It would be easier to identify them at a distance

[Miykayl]

Well, it’d be better than Cap-n-Trade!

Plus, it’d be a lot cheaper and easier to recover from if in 10 years if we’re shovelin’ snow in San Diego...

OK everyone! Paint your roofs black!

LOL.

It’s better to let the Earth regulate its own temperature.

You know how good the government is at managing things... Just wait until they are managing the weather!

LOL.

[Alice in Wonderland]

White roofs in Bermuda. The roofs are made from limestone and are built specifically to catch rainwater which is then used for drinking water.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

The lefties who live in historic districts aren’t going to like this too much. Ruins the aesthetics, don’t ya’ know.

[Huskrrrr]

Black roof tops absorb radiation from the sun and help heat homes in the winter.

[KC_Conspirator]

This reminds me of Jimmy Carter telling people to wear sweaters due to energy shortages.

[houeto]

Let me see...in the winter, when energy costs are the highest, wouldn’t we want a dark roof to capture all the heat from any sun possible????

Well, then you're gonna have to repaint each spring and fall...AND THAT'S AN ORDER!
