He then uses what information is available to quantify (in Watts per square meter) what radiative terms drive that temperature change (for the LGM this is primarily increased surface albedo from more ice / snow cover, and also changes in greenhouse gases... the former is treated as a forcing, not a feedback; also, the orbital variations which technically drive the process are rather small in the global mean).

Specifically, increasing the snow albedo delayed the melting of snow and sea ice in spring, which increased the albedo difference to the experiment in which snow grains were assumed spherical.
