White Roof Technology, We Knew it Was Good, But not THIS GOOD - LA Times
From the article: “Globally, roofs account for 25% of the surface of most cities, and pavement accounts for about 35%. If all were switched to reflective material in 100 major urban areas, it would offset 44 metric gigatons of greenhouse gases, which have been trapping heat in the atmosphere and altering the climate on a potentially dangerous scale. That is more than all the countries on Earth emit in a single year.” Is it just me, or is this author confusing “ACTUAL HEAT” for “Heat trapping gases”? It’s slightly confusing.
