But there is an elephant in the room when it comes to estimating how promising a climate solution is in different locations. This is the &quot;albedo&quot; - the fraction of solar radiation that is reflected from the Earth&#039;s surface. In general, brighter surfaces\u2014such as a large expanse of snow or grass\u2014generally reflect a high proportion of sunlight back into space. Trees, meanwhile, tend to be darker and absorb more sunlight, keeping it on Earth\u2014usually in the form of excess heat.
