If the grass stays cool because it reflects the light back into the air and the asphalt gets hot because it absorbs the light, which one contributes to global warming?
If I recall my high school science right, black absorbs the heat, black rocks even more so because rock stores heat( isn't asphalt made up of little stones and tar?) while grass is a lighter color and actually converts the energy through photosynthesis.
So if heat from sunlight is energy, and the grass converts energy from sunlight, it would naturally be cooler.
You should probably lay in the grass during summer instead of the driveway (hope you don't have fire ants).
doesn't the asphalt absorb heat from the sun? So, the sun contributes to global warming? maybe AOC should create a bill in congress to extinguish the sun.
I hear Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton have experience doing this already.
It absorbs heat but radiates it for many hours afterwards. You can see that in your road this evening. Touch it with the palm of your had at dusk tonight!
Asphalt does not just contribute to global warming, it accounts for all of it (100%).
When NOAA recognized that their official temp measurement stations had been encrouched by urban heat island effect, they built a series of new stations across the US. These new stations went on line in 2005, and an initial report was published last year.
Al Gore and the self appointed climate experts can't even measure air temperature without screwing things up.
