   What’s funny about global warming..
   ..ask any person if they would like the weather to be 1 degree warmer, or
   1 degree colder.

   The ones that don’t laugh in your face, will tell you warmer………

   I vote for colder – but then i live in Montana for a reason. Yes, yes, I like the way melting snow feels on my toes as a shovel my sidewalk – delish…

   Hey, I don’t think this paint stuff is bad at all. If some supermarket wants to pay for it, let em.

   If that one parking lot was 200 degrees……..

   I wonder it there’s a way to actually measure how much asphalt is down, and how much it has contributed to global warming…
   ….I’m sure someone could show that all the temp increase is from asphalt

   Anthony, posted something a while back about a study out of Calif on roofs.
   If you used their numbers in that study, all of the temp increase was coming from roofs…

   …none from CO2

     Actually, I think it would be very useful to get some REAL statistically valid numbers about urban heat island and which structures are responsible for how much of its effects.

     If AGWarmistas were serious about their numbers they would take some of those billions and find out.

       You see Bob, now you are welcoming the green police into your home here! So the saying you can’t win for losing seems appropriate here.

       HAHAHA, they can never check out, Classic Hotel California. Speaking of California, It’ll be bad if Schwarzenglobalwarmer got out, but I won’t hold my breath on that, he’ll probably be like another Cameron run chicken run before it’s over.

   “Heat radiated from asphalt remains between 1 – 4 feet”

   After that it dissipates fully, leaving no trace at at the 5 foot level.

     Maybe that’s where all the lost heat goes too, it just dissipates fully at 5 feet.

     Brilliant !!

   Note to Phoenix children or anybody else: Don’t walk on the pavement without your shoes on in the heat of the summer sun.

   Or better yet, walk barefoot and burn your feet and start a mass protest about the Government not doing enough to stop “global warming” and get the media to make a sensation of your “suffering”

     Yeah Brian, you nailed it with protest and media, as that seems to be the never ending story on their part.

   Cover that hot asphalt with the cooling relief of old growth redwood chips, smells nice too, and would bring jobs to California.
