A countervailing effect in Greenland and Antarctica is albedo.
Being white, ice reflects solar radiation. Black rock exposed by ice melting absorbs it.
Between 2002 and 2023, the Greenland ice cap lost 270 billion metric tons of ice every year.
Greenland is currently 20% exposed bedrock. It's another tipping point.
My washer started going nuts a while back—crazy loud, shaking all over the place, and just a total hassle. I was ready to toss it and get a new one, but figured I’d see if it could be fixed first. Turns out, the bearings and belt were shot, but once those were swapped out, it was running smooth and way quieter.
