To slow global warming, install white roofs
Such roofs and reflective pavement in the world's 100 largest cities would have a massive cooling effect, according to data released at California's annual Climate Change Research Conference.

The article concludes with this statement: "I call it win-win-win," Akbari said. "First, a cooler environment not only saves energy but improves comfort. Second, cooling a city by a few degrees dramatically reduces smog. And the third win is offsetting global warming."
Not to mention a reduced growing season, less food production and increased 3rd world hunger. Not everything about global warming is bad. Scientist believe that most of the 1 or 2 degree temperature increase over the next century will occur at night, that the end result of this warming trend will be an enhanced growing season (PBS discussion between two scientists and 2 green types).
