🚗 Black cars amplify city heat
Parked cars intensify the urban heat island effect.
In Lisbon, a black car heated nearby air by up to 3.8 °C more than the asphalt beneath it. Light colours and shading cut the effect.

The color of your car may be heating your street—and your city
The already overregulated EU should therefore ban dark-coloured car paint. Or it should reward light colours (with a tax reduction). I mean this seriously.
I switched from a black honda civic to a shiny silver kia hybrid, so I'm helping the environment!
and how much does the black streets intensify the urban heat from?
Shit, I knew the FBI, CIA & Baddies contribute to global warming. Just wouldn't be the same if they drove white vehicles now would it. 😜

Hey Glasgow, buy black cars and together we could have an urban heat island too.
