    Comment "An important positive feedback is the ice and snow albedo feedback. Sea ice and snow have high albedo. This means that they reflect most of the solar radiation. With warmer polar temperatures, the area of sea ice and snow cover decreases, exposing new expanses of ocean and land surfaces that absorb an increased amount of solar radiation. This increase of total absorbed solar radiation contributes to continued and accelerated warming. http://maps.grida.no/go/graphic/climate-feedbacks-the-connectivity-of-the-positive-ice-snow-albedo-feedback-terrestrial-snow-and-vegetation-feedbacks-and-the-negative-cloud-radiation-feedback [02.02.2011]"
