Greenland’s Ice is Growing Darker
In the past, the bright surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet reflected well over half of the sunlight that fell on it. This reflectiveness helped keep the ice sheet stable, as less absorbed sunlight meant less heating and melting. In the past decade, however, satellites have observed a decrease in Greenland’s reflectiveness. This darker surface now absorbs more sunlight, which accelerates melting.
I saw this and thought it was a gram positive histological slide. Geez. I’m studying too much.
In any case, this is an interesting observation.
