FACT: If we were to start painting all roofs white, we could push the earth's albedo from .29 towards .30, which according to a basic "zero-dimensional" model of the earth that I have actually read about, would lead to a drop in global temperature of up to 1 degree celsius, canceling out the global warming that apparently has taken place since the industrial revolution.
