California floated an idea of only white cars cause they'd heat up less and save people using their AC which ultimately saves gas. That would be a very weird place with only white cars....

That is the worst study ever. Can't measure the interior temperature so he measures the glass instead. Lame.

Mythbusters already did it, and confirmed it.

I trust their methods and results more than this guy

isn't it pretty much common knowledge?

black absorbs light and white reflects?

Instead of using an infrared temperature gun, he could've picked up a few temperature probes, calibrated 'em, then left them inside the cars.

Using that gun on a transparent glass surface won't tell you jack.
