In the first category, physically plausible mechanisms have been proposed that link human activities associated with the creation of the ozone hole1 and increased runoff from the Antarctic ice sheets2 (land ice) to increased sea ice.
Using the figurines and builds included in the kit, photographer Markus Land constructed a series of photos showcasing the characters as they engage in activities like ice hockey or just surveying the icy planet.
Other factors would include: — albedo shifts (both from ice > water, and from increased biological activity, and from edge melt revealing more land, and from more old dust coming to the surface...); — direct effect of CO2 on ice (the former weakens the latter); — increasing, and increasingly warm, rain fall on ice; — «stuck» weather systems bringing more and more warm tropical air ever further toward the poles; — melting of sea ice shelf increasing mobility of glaciers; — sea water getting under parts of the ice sheets where the base is below sea level; — melt water lubricating the ice sheet base; — changes in ocean currents -LRB-?)
We're talking about generally increased volcanic activity that would result in the kind of general net decline in Antarctic land ice.
I also believe that soot and all the other aerosols that combine and rain out has contributed to significant albedo changes and is food for localized warming from biochemical activity in the boreal north that has significantly contributed to the melting of land and sea ice.
