Scientists created the world's whitest paint.

C'mon man that is rassist!  Whiter than white!


The whitest paint in the world has been created in a lab at Purdue University, a paint so white that it could eventually reduce or even eliminate the need for air conditioning, scientists say.

The paint has now made it into the Guinness World Records book as the whitest ever made.

So why did the scientists create such a paint? It turns out that breaking a world record wasn't the goal of the researchers: Curbing global warming was.

“When we started this project about seven years ago, we had saving energy and fighting climate change in mind,” said Xiulin Ruan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue, in a statement.

The idea was to make a paint that would reflect sunlight away from a building, researchers said.

Definitely, racist paint. Bet it was created by White people in a White company with a White CEO.
These people should be arrested for a so called 'hate crime'.

How will this paint "help" with global warming.  Seems to me it will reflect the heat into the surrounding area and increase the ambient temp.

AP-42 emissions equations  for tankage does have a paramenter for tank paint color. 

That is why you almost see all refinery tank colors universally white.

In a tank, the white paint decreases the impact on product temperature, thusly decreasing volatilization.  Same concept applies to an abode, if you can keep the inside cooler, less electricity is needed for the cooling side of HVAC.  Of course the opposite is true in winter.
