More ground turns from white reflective snow to black, heat absorbant dirt.The same effect occurs as sea ice is lost.The corals blanch, and, as I stated last year on this site, the shutdown
of the north Atlantic current will occur, since the salinity level studies I spoke
of last year, off Greenland, continue to show that the upwelling mechanisms driving the North Atlanic current are in severe
jeapordy, because the change in salinity levels effects the driver
of the current, the upwelling and downwelling
of different salinity levels off Greenland.
