Uhhhh... how reflective are they once they get dirty?
Leftist moonbats should set the example by painting the top of their heads bright white.
Only opponents of the AGW hoax are required to have peer-reviewed documentation.
True-believers are exempt from this formality.
Ruled by liberal (communist) pansies who haven’t a clue about economics, security, education or anything, but they want control of it all!
THAT’S RACIST!!!
White!!! How racist!!!
AAC = Anthropogenic Albedo Crisis -—> snowball earth -—> we’re all gonna die!!!
I have a white roof and a mess of trees. What do I get?
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.
White roofs in Bermuda. The roofs are made from limestone and are built specifically to catch rainwater which is then used for drinking water.
The lefties who live in historic districts aren’t going to like this too much. Ruins the aesthetics, don’t ya’ know.
This reminds me of Jimmy Carter telling people to wear sweaters due to energy shortages.
I sense a South Park episode coming on where all white cars drive on white highways against a backdrop of white buildings, causing a massive 97-car pileup due to the glare.
Idiots. White roofs don’t work well where there is much snow. We don’t have dark shingles for nothing.
Have any of the idiot making these assertions ever passed an 8th grade science course?
“If you look at all the buildings and make all the roofs white, and if you make the pavement a more concrete type of color rather than a black type of color, and you do this uniformly, it’s the equivalent of reducing the carbon emissions due to all the cars in the world by 11 years.”
Using linear thinking along with this asinine suggestion, people of color should not be outside during sunlight in warm days.
Also: inflating your car tires....
Let’s patronize this PhD for the moment and accept his theory. What will it do to the increased “carbon footprint” resulting from having to manufacture thousands of additional gallons of paint anually? Horizontal surfaces take a greater beating from UV rays. Instead of painting every 4-5 years as we do siding, we’ll have to paint every 2-3 years. What will the chalked pigment do to the runoff? I believe titanium is used as white pigment. What’s the downside? Practically speaking, what is the area of all roofs as compared to total landmass? PhD = piled higher and deeper. sd
