Why Tracking Albedo Matters for Climate Future - Report Wire
Summary
Every morning the sun delivers a fixed amount of energy to Earth, yet the planet does not heat up uniformly. The reason lies in how different surfaces handle that energy, a process scientists call albedo. High-albedo surfaces such as glaciers and sea ice reflect up to 90 percent of incoming sunlight, keeping polar regions cold. Low-albedo surfaces such as tropical oceans and asphalt roads absorb most rays, storing heat that later fuels storms an…
