Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
1% of the Earth's surface is about 2 million square miles, or about 2/3 of the contiguous US. That's a lot of fucking paint.
Literally cool.
Someone explain black body radiation to me again.
How is it cooler than the ambient air temperature? What if I put it in a dark room? Won't conduction make it the same temperature?
I really hope this comes to market.
I’m in that classroom at 0:26. Bastards used the only shot where his head is blocking me lmao.
Doesn't the heat just dissipate into the atsmosphere around instead? I'm unsure whether this would actually achieve the desired effect on a global scale.
I have to admit, when I first glanced at the title, I saw “BETTY White Paint”. Wait — she has a paint named after her???
Seriously, though, cool idea (pun intended). You can actually see the difference in the shade. It’ll be interesting to see how things work out.
But Betty White paint would be cool, too.
there gonna need to incorporate that paint color into the Fibertite roofing fabric their standing on.
Better White Paint sounds like the name of a They Might Be Giants tribute band.
