COOL OFF WITH COOL ROOFS.
by Bruce Mulliken, Green Energy News
The walls of my red brick house are hot to the touch in the record-breaking heat of the summer of 2010. I could probably fry an egg on my home’s gray slate tile roof. (If there was a nice frying pan flat spot, of course.)
Just a few months ago when warm moist air from the south met with cold air from the north, that same tired 60-year old roof held a 4-foot drift of record-breaking snow. The roof was damaged later by ice, and it leaked below.
Halfway through the year the planet is now on track to be the hottest yet in modern times.
The planet’s getting warmer because too much energy in sunlight is being trapped by heat reflective gases that man has put there in his foolish assumption that the thin layer of air we live in could somehow absorb those gases without complaint.
We need to find ways to artificially reflect more sunlight back into space.
