Did you know, that Purdue University has come up with a paint so white that if enough roofs were painted with it, and it would take a lot, the earth wouldn't absorb more heat than it was emitting. It reflects 98.1 percent of the sun's rays, not to mention it would save on AC bills.

I suspect it would hurt the eyes to look at it.
Wow! I'll have to tell Himself because Purdue is where he got his Master's degree in Chemistry.
I did know. White paint or a grassed roof helps our environment. Maybe not your roof could be painted white, but our apartment building roof could be.
I didn't know that, but it's pretty cool!
This really sounds like a clever idea! Hugs, Valerie
Wow! This is a paint we need! Xo
That's amazing! I had read about the blackestblack being invented...was it from this university to?
EC, That would sure be something to look into.
CJ, I love hearing that. I worked at Purdue;)
Andrew, Good job on knowing this. I hope it catches on.
Jeanie, For sure.
Val, It blows me away. It could turn things around.
Denise, You sure do. It would be wonderful for the fire areas in California.
Birgit, I'm not sure, but it is amazing isn't it. It could drastically slow down global warming.
Genial no lo sabía. Te mando un beso.
I didn't know that but, I am glad there are people thinking up solutions to our global issues. Have a nice weekend, Sandra.
Goodness! I didn't know that.
All the best Jan
We really need to start paying attention to the scientists more! I mean, I do, and probably most of your readers do... but the world at large, and especially governments.
