Excellent as ever Mr Crim, thank you!
I think this is one of your best articles yet in terms of clarity and simplicity.

I read articles saying "scientists are alarmed and don't know what's causing the spike", and I'm thinking "I'm pretty sure we do, it's the Albedo drop." I only know this because of your work. I sure as hell don't see it in the mainstream news!

I wonder how much the reduction of polar ice is contributing to the dimming? It seems to me that with the rate of melt being reported at both poles and places like Greenland, it's bound to accelerate the dimming and further exacabate the problem.

Not to mention what happens to the temperature of a drink when the ice cube has fully melted. A future wonder for us to experience, no doubt.
