Wharfie, it's ridiculous that Greenhouse Effect Doomsters have only just figured out that one [white roofs]. There is something missing in their causal relationships department. Such things are obvious as soon as one thinks "Hmm, too much sun coming in what can I do?"

Maybe they never went swimming in cold pools and lay on various colours of paint to warm up - black the warmest, white no warmth. Maybe they didn't wear bare feet and walking across iron sands, metal, concrete, asphalt etc on a bright sunny day.

One day they will discover that deserts reflect light and dark green plants do not. They will learn that snow reflects light and dark dirt does not. They will notice the effect of ice over ocean. And don't forget cloud cover varying with dew point. Apparently they have noticed clouds and are thinking of including clouds in their climate model.

Without clouds, they don't have a climate model.

Okay, I'm being snide because the really top level climate scientists have heard about cloud, snow, desert, plants, oceans and understand that there is an interaction.
