Recycled science: Reflective surfaces alleviate heatwaves
Anthony Watts / 1 hour ago January 30, 2018
From ETH ZURICH and the “obvious science†department comes this study that is little more than a recycle of what is already understood about crops and “shininessâ€, back in 2009 – reflective surfaces absorb less heat during the daytime. Just wait till the greens deal with GMO engineered “reflective cornâ€, they’ll have a head-exploding dilemma.
Climate change will make heatwaves more common, and continental areas and urban regions that become significantly warmer in summer will be particularly affected. Together with colleagues from Australia and the US, ETH researchers have now detailed a practical approach that combines clever land use and urban radiation management to help cool extreme summer temperatures locally. Their study has just been published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
