Climate: Melting of light-coloured Arctic sea ice is accelerating global warming
Global warming is being accelerated by the melting of light-coloured Arctic sea ice — which exposes more ‘dark’ ocean water to absorb more sunlight, a study warned. Researchers from Germany found that this process forms a ‘vicious circle’ of positive feedback — one that could lead to an additional temperature rise of 0.77°F (0.43°C). The consequences … Read more
