Akbari, Hashem; Matthews, H. Damon (2012): Global cooling updates: Reflective roofs and pavements

Akbari, Hashem; Matthews, H. Damon (2012): Global cooling updates: Reflective roofs and pavements. In: Energy and Buildings, pp. 1–5.

"► Cool roofs save cooling-energy use in air conditioned buildings and improve comfort. ► Cool urban surfaces (roofs and cool pavements) mitigate summer urban heat islands. ► Cool urban surfaces (roofs and cool pavements) improve outdoor air quality and comfort. ► Cool roofs and cool pavements cool the globe. ► We review cool roof and cool pavement technologies, policies, and programs in the world."

environmental research web: Lack of detail spoils geoengineering schemes

"Scientists still know too little to use geoengineering as a weapon to fight climate change, said Richard Turco. Having organised one of the first ever geoengineering conferences at the American Geophysical Union in 1991, the UCLA researcher is unimpressed by progress made since."
