Apparently, we could significantly reduce the impact of global warming by releasing large numbers of horses (and bison) in the arctic tundra.
Could this be a solution to Mustang overpopulation? (Or maybe it will be too cold for them).
The theory is that large herbivores actually increase the albedo by trampling down woody vegetation. This would reflect more light back into space, lower the temperature, and slow thawing.
(Of course, mammoths would be even better if we had any lying around...maybe that mammoth cloning idea isn't as stupid as we thought).
