Judith - Apart from the general anthro vs. natural disussion of sea ice, I'm always wondering: has anyone seriously considered / studied the possible anthropogenic contribution from NON-CO2 sources (black carbon soot / aerosol deposits on the ice surface, increasing the albedo, melting the ice faster in the sun)?

Black carbon has likely played a far more significant role there, because of the contrast between absorbing aerosols deposited on the ice surface, and the high albedo perennial ice cover, and thus in this particular region black carbon has likely been an aggravating factor when it comes to anthropogenic surface warBlack carbon has likely played a far more significant role there, because of the contrast between absorbing aerosols deposited on the ice surface, and the high albedo perennial ice cover, and thus in this particular region black carbon has likely been an aggravating factor when it comes to anthropogenic surface warblack carbon has likely been an aggravating factor when it comes to anthropogenic surface warming.
