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).

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.

Data from the old stations showed a consistant warming trend, but the new stations showed no warming trend, just a natural variation that followed the sun spot cycle. https://www.survivalistboards.com/showthread.php?t=927652

Al Gore and the self appointed climate experts can't even measure air temperature without screwing things up.
