You really are hilarious, Moonie.

"I wonder what affect this extra area of ice has on Earth's albedo?

Much more radiation would be getting reflected back into space instead of absorbed by the ocean.

It must be having an effect."

I'm sure that when it was climate science, the albedo was a bogus argument in your eyes, but now there seems to be a sliver of a suggestion from somewhere clearly not very credible that there is suddenly more ice (can't see the original post, don't need to), all of a sudden its a credible argument you seem to have latched onto. You are extremely predictable. (As I probably am!)

But I do agree, all else being equal, extra ice means extra albedo. There just isn't any 'extra' ice.

I note fire season has started early in NSW (usually starts in October). How the hell are we going to protect these places as temperatures increase???

Lucky we have GLOBAL COOLING, LOL!
