'The Arctic, covered in snow and ice, is more responsive to changes in atmospheric chemistry than the rest of the earth. Frozen water reflects a large share of incoming sunlight back toward the sky, whereas darker soil, vegetation, and liquid water absorb relatively more energy. Arctic amplification follows this specific feedback loop: as snow melts, the exposed ground below absorbs more heat, which in turn melts more snow, and so on.'
