Los Angeles painting city streets white in bid to combat climate change

How does painting streets white help with "global warming" Einstein? So dropping the street temp from 120 degrees to a cool 110 degrees is worth $40,000 a mile? Tell us how many miles will it take to make any difference in the temp? You fucking idiots must have money to burn.

Do you know the difference between a roof and a street? How many streets are painted white in Bermuda? Do I hear zero?

But you know so much about heat why do you paint your engine block black?

Why do all the women in Saudi Arabia go around in black burqahs? Don't they care about global warming?

Nope, it sure isn't, moron. White is a reflector of INCOMING radiant heat. Black is an absorber of radiant heat. The best absorbers are the best emitters of radiant heat. So, black is intended to emit radiant heat GENERATED by the engine.

Move on, now, sonny.
 
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 preliminary testing shows has reduced the temperature of roadways by up to 10 degrees. The project involves applying a light gray coating of the product CoolSeal, made by the company GuardTop.

While each coasting could can last up to seven years, they are also pricey, with the estimated cost of $40,000 per mile, the L.A. Daily News reported.

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
