Los Angeles fighting climate change by painting streets white

Another brilliant costly idea by government filed under, “You just can’t make this stuff up.” LA, California is starting to paint the streets white so the asphalt will not absorb as much heat. The heat will instead be reflected to the homes around the streets. Yet another costly project to help save the planet from global wa...climate change.

“The super highway to hell is paved with good intentions.”

    I was about to pun something about "de Nile" but If Igot any cornier, I'd be forced to do 4 shows a day at Coney Island in the little strip joint just off the main walk.

    Darn! I let out some true science. The scientific method is a bit foreign too many leftist. They’re much better at the denial method.

    As I once told J.P.Sartre: "There's more in it than on it."
    The World's Foremost Authority Has a Zen question. "How do you know which road is the least traveled if they're both concrete and neither has any footprints or,tire tracks?"

    Why does this come to mind ? "If we don't change directions soon ,
    We will end up where we are going."

    Can you imagine the glare! How soon before they are dirty? These people live in another dimension, where fantasy if reality. They can't accept global warming is non-existent. They have people living on the streets in downtown areas and are worried about painting the streets white.Meanwhile, they shoot crushed clay and water into the atmosphere to block sun rays. What do they want, total darkness.

    Thomas Edison tested a different type of filament material each time he tried to relight his light bulb in a vacuum.

    What scientists should be working on: Voiding the law of supply and demand. by controlling demand , supply can be made to fit the demand, eliminating any chance of overproduction or failure. Better still, by controlling supply, production can force demand to conform to availability, thus causing perfection of production. Just because it never works, and has been tried innumerable times and always failed doesn't mean it will fail if tried once again. Just look at Edison and the light bulb.Can we prove Einstein wrong? He said something about trying the same experiment over and over again expecting a different result is insanity. Experiments at Dr. Melvin Brooks' Institute for the very, very nervous has shown us the fallacy in this.

    ...and in a few years when something toxic is discovered in the paint, an even more profitable toxic paint removal business will be created

    Why stop at white? Why not replace the surface with a fully reflective mirror? Who cares about vehicle stopping distances anyway?

    Personally, THIS is my biggest problem with the Climate Change... talking heads etc. Even IF you buy into the whole thing, what makes these people think they have all the correct answers? Most of their 'solutions' cause MORE harm than what they are trying to fix. Their minds are so small they cannot see the larger picture OR the wonder of the planet and nature. When we start terraforming other planets and have learned from doing it a few times, THEN maybe I'll believe half of what they say... Electric cars... uggh. Do they know where the battery matierial is from and what charges the batteries? Electricity from power plants... Coal mostly.... Yes, it saves you on gas... but other costs are way more (replacing batteries every few years is one issue) and without subsidies, the cars would be too expensive to buy.... another government project that...well, I digress...

    Interesting idea but not monetarily efficient. But, what if the Deep State is creating Chem Trails over Los Angeles and then those reflected photons heat the air as they move upwards then heated air gets trapped by the aerosols LA gets cooked.

    Anyone know how yellow lines look on white streets? Are painted streets more slippery than non-painted streets? Has anyone talk to an ophthalmologist about this? Has anyone talk to a psychologist about this? Any safety concerns we should be concerned about?
    Am I a planet hater for daring to ask these questions?

    No place is really safe. I’m afraid progressives want to paint the world. If you try to stop or argue with them they’ll call you a planet hater.

    Maybe if enough progressives do this to enough cities, they can prevent, “Axis Change.”

    White paint stock prices are going to go through the roof!
