California officials are hoping their latest attempt to stem the rising tides of climate change leads to a more socially conscious — and cooler — summer.
Officials in Los Angeles have been painting streets white to reduce the effect of urban “heat islands” and combat the effects of climate change.
The LA Street Services began rolling out the project last May, which

its all sceincey so you right wing idiots wont understand
its a test of the idea
like any new project the cost will be the most in the beginning
you idiots don't realize how quickly the heat destroys the roads
its not just paint its sealer
if it works better than the resealing they MUST do every few years with a dark asphalt resurfacing and makes all the neighborhoods COOLER then it can be applied in a cheaper per mile cost if they decide to employ this idea city wide
and it will reduce the use of airconditioners in every neighborhood it is used in huh
the right hates news ideas
they cant think past their own noses
so they spew hate on any new ideas
