Which consequence results when ice sheet albedo decreases significantly?

💡 Explanation

Decreased ice sheet albedo enhances solar absorption, beginning a positive feedback loop; this causes increased insolation absorption, rather than other global effects, because the albedo feedback mechanism directly affects surface radiation balance; therefore melting increases.
