Then, when it's all white: < white roof police insisting on second and third coats of paint or else... > and when snow is all around, and people can't find their houses or roads, everything being white, and the reglaciation is underway, they'll order everyone to repaint their houses and cars black [they haven't mentioned that dark cars will be illegal but they'll think of that after a while when "paint it white" mania gets under way].

Greenies will be able to understand the slogan "Paint it white" so they'll be all for it. Complex things are beyond them, so simple slogans are what's required. But they should remember the slogan, "Don't let a slogan do your thinking for you".

They'll require catalytic converters and particle traps to be taken off diesel vehicles so they spray soot everywhere making the surfaces black, to absorb heat and melt the snow. They'll require fuels to include heavy ends to ensure good production of sooty goop.
