CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL WARMING I. INTRODUCTION
... In addition to causing sea level rise, the disappearance of polar ice actually will intensify global warming. Because water absorbs more solar radiation than ice, as the poles lose ice cover, more heat from the sun will be absorbed at the earth’s surface instead of being reflected back into space by ...
