Turns out all we may need to stop climate change is 139 billion gallons of super-duper white paint::According to one professor, we may be able to stop climate change if we used a new super white paint to cover the entire United States
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
according to this the total land area of built up human development and infrastructure is also around 1%, seems a hell of a lot easier to mandate every building have a white roof. Especially considering most buildings have black roofs, it will be even more of a difference. Also will reduce energy consumption from AC because, as said in the article buildings panted with it have reduced need for cooling.
Roads could also maybe be painted or have a whiter material used, might make it harder to drive though
Might not make it harder to drive per se but it would definitely mean I would need to wear sunglasses while driving at all times (during daylight).
Yeah thats basically what I meant by harder to drive, definitely would have to wear sunglasses all the time in the day
I think white roads could be a problem with snow, usually the only good way to find the road in a snowstorm is to look for the darkness, no darkness and you can’t tell the road from the ground covered in snow.
Oh yeah that’s a good point too. Probably not actually practical. Also the super special paint almost certainly would not take being driven on by thousands of vehicles very well.
If we dont do something soon, snow wont be a problem much longer.
