The Icy Planet: Saving Earth's Refrigerator
Summerhayes, Colin (Emeritus Associate, Scott Polar Research Institute, Emeritus Associate, Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge University)
For most people, planet Earth's icy parts remain out of sight and out of mind. Yet it is the melting of ice that will both raise sea level and warm the climate further by reducing the white surfaces that reflect solar energy back into space. In effect, our icy places act as the world's refrigerator, helping to keep our climate relatively cool. The Icy Planet lays out carbon dioxide's role as the control knob of our climate over the past 1000 millionyears, then explores what is happening to ice and snow in Antarctica, the Arctic and the high mountains.
