Earth-orbiting satellites see Arctic surface darkening faster The retreat of Arctic sea ice is diminishing Earth’s albedo, or reflectivity, by an amount about twice as large as previously thought.

Sun never passes the Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn thus the -22
degree water at the south pole and -4 degree water at North pole that the
ocean current churns slower in Winter to build ice in Winter and faster in
Summer which drives the Polar Ice back…….where are those “sun rays”
from above P:ole coming from?(Im sure the Emperor Penguins that weather 3
months of Winter Storm in darkness would want that)
Thanks, very interesting observation there.
