White roofs may keep your house cool Min but heat that is within the atmosphere is in, a white roof will make no difference to GW what so ever!

I live in a desert. I can assure you the "heat island" thing is for real. We're just getting to shut our air conditioners off now.

Oh agreed Min, London for example has its own local climate, but solar radiation that is already in the Earth's atmosphere will raise its temp what ever you do.
A white roof won't bounce the radiation back into space.
