Obama plan: Paint roofs white to save world
Suggests light colors would reduce global warming

Steven Chu, who directed the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and was professor of physics and molecular and cell biology at the University of California before being appointed by President Obama to be the U.S. Energy Secretary, says white paint is what's needed to fix global warming.

Chu, who according to the federal agency's website, successfully applied the techniques he developed in atomic physics to molecular biology and recently led the lab in pursuit of new alternative and renewable energies, has told the London Times  that by making paved surfaces and roofs lighter in color, the world would reduce carbon emissions by as much as parking all the cars in the world for 11 years.

The DOE says Chu's areas of expertise are in atomic physics, quantum electronics, polymer and biophysics. According to the Times, he was speaking at the St. James' Palace Nobel Laureate Symposium, in which the Times partners for media events, when he described his simple and "completely benign" … "geo-engineering" plan.

He said building codes should require that flat roofed-buildings have their tops painted white. Visible sloped roofs could be painted "cool" colors. And roads could be made a lighter color.

Chu, a co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1997, was sworn in as energy secretary Jan. 21.

Obama said when he appointed Chu, "The future of our economy and national security is inextricably linked to one challenge: energy… Steven has blazed new trails as a scientist, teacher, and administrator."

"I think with flat-type roofs you can't even see, yes, I think you should regulate quite frankly," Chu said in the Times report.

And asked if governments should promote white paint as the global warming "solution," he said, "Yes, absolutely … White roofs everywhere, yes."

Light surfaces reflect more of the sunlight that falls on them, hardly a surprise in warmer parts of the world where walls and roofs have been whitewashed for generations.

Chu told the Times his dogma on the issue was prompted by Art Rosenfeld of the California Energy Commission, who prompted a change in that state that now requires all flat roofs on commercial buildings to be painted white.

The Times report said a year ago, Rosenfeld and several colleagues estimated changing the color of roofs in 100 of the largest cities around the world would save 44 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

"Now, you smile, but [Rosenfeld has] done a calculation, made a paper on this, and if you take all the buildings and make their roofs white and if you make the pavement more of a concrete type of color rather than a black type of color, and you do this uniformly… it's the equivalent of reducing the carbon emissions due to all the cars on the road for 11 years, you just take them off the road for 11 years," Chu told the Times.

Now he's pandering to the typical white people!!

Just wait till Jesse Jackson, and/or Al Sharpton hear about this one!!

Seems more people are still believing the lie of global warming.

This guy is as much a maniac as Hitler, Sadaam or any other tyrant that has tried to take over the world.

Exactly.

Another exactly! It's beyond me why anyone believe all this garbage. OBAMA'S PICTURE OF SUCCESS WOULD BE WORSE THAN RED CHINA!

Has anyone informed Al Gore of Global Cooling?


GLOBAL COOLING
By Neal Boortz  June 1, 2009

You do know that in spite of all the leftist alarmism, the earth has been cooling for the past eight or so years, don't you? Well ... read this story. There's a graph in the story which shows solar activity decreasing for ... guess what? ... The last eight years. Somehow the anti-capitalist environmentalist moonbats don't seem to believe that decreasing or increasing solar activity can have anything to do with the temperatures on earth.

Hello Light2light and All,

Some people might genuinely believe the GLOBAL WARMING CON GAME, but others like Al Gore know IT'S A LIE for money. If you tell a lie often enough and long enough, some people will believe it, regardless of how foolish it is.

Global warming is one of the mechanisms planned to put the people under TYRANNY, SOCIALISM, AND COMMUNISM. It's also HUGE Money for folks like Al Gore and General Electric. It isn't science at all - JUST A HUGE CON GAME. Real scientists know that trends of solar activity in the SUN cause warming and cooling. In other words:  GOD IS IN CONTROL - not al gore and fellow conspirators.

Each day, global warming takes another hit, with new reports chipping away at its creditability. 

I'd like to know when it's finally completely debunked if Gore will give back his Oscar.

I'd like to see him repay all the millions of dollars he's made with this CON GAME and some CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR FRAUD. Many in the government need to GO DOWN with him, and maybe they can all share a PRISON CELL. Even the NASA Scientists have said man has nothing to do with the climate. Wonder of all wonders, NASA said that changes were caused by trends in SOLAR ACTIVITY. Imagine that:  Changes in the SUN actually have an impact on heating and cooling. DUH! - WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT?

Gore Blames “Tyranny of the Financial Markets” For Global Warming


NEW YORK—Former Vice President Al Gore thinks that financial markets are to blame for environmental problems.

Gore, speaking at a Cornell University-sponsored roundtable in New York City on Wednesday (June 3), told the audience that the "tyranny of short-term horizons” forced companies to maximize returns on a short-term quarterly basis. This, the panelists said, undermined long-term progress in combating environmental ills, such as global warming.

This "tyranny of short-term horizons is not limited to investing but also to politics," said Gore. But the Obama administration has an opportunity to lead the world, he said, especially at the forthcoming United Nations Climate Conference in Copenhagen. And if the cap-and-trade bill to tax carbon passes in Congress this year, it would help create a "global framework" to bring China into a global agreement on regulating carbon, he said.
Gore’s comments came in response to--and echoed sentiments expressed by--Ratan Tata, chairman of the Tata Group, a multi-national conglomerate that promotes itself as environmentally conscious.

Despite decrying the financial markets, both Tata and Gore have direct financial interests in advancing global warming alarmism and promoting environmental technologies.

The Tata group recently unveiled its “green” Nano car, a small car funded in large part by government subsidies. And, in 2008, Gore admitted to having a direct financial interest in a number of green investments.

Yep, their lack of logic astounds me more each day.

[nChrist]

Al Gore is one of the greatest CON MEN of all time, second only to Obama. GREAT fortunes are directly tied to their CON GAME, and General Electric is right in the middle of it. They all need to go to PRISON.

You've heard of or seen the movie Con Air starring Nicolas Cage.

How about Con Men starring Gore and Obama?

A cross between reality TV and a horror show.

Or as Mr. Spock would say, "their logic is flawed".

You've heard of or seen the movie Con Air starring Nicolas Cage.

How about Con Men starring Gore and Obama?

If it was a clean comedy, I'd watch it but, if it is a horror forget it.
