For millennia, Greenland's ice sheet reflected sunlight back into space, but satellite measurements in recent years suggest the bright surface is darkening, causing solar heat to be absorbed and surface melting to accelerate. Some studies suggest this "dirty ice" or "dark snow" is caused by fallout from fossil fuel pollution and forest fires.
But a new Dartmouth-led study shows that degrading satellite sensors, not soot or dust, are responsible for the apparent decline in reflectivity of inland ice across northern Greenland. The study's results suggest the ice sheet hasn't lost as much reflectivity as previously thought, and that black carbon and dust concentrations haven't increased significantly and are thus not responsible for darkening on the upper ice sheet.
The findings, which contradict anecdotal observations and earlier scientific studies, appear in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

.. degrading satellite sensors?
How could this be???
Boogy-man Carbon exonorated again.
And then vow to redouble their efforts to falsify and fabricate data to "prove" their false theory

“.. degrading satellite sensors?
How could this be???”
The sensors have been up there “For millennia” so they’re very old.
Huh! So human activity (or the lack thereof) really is causing global warming. Howzzaboutdat?
If those sensors were more sensitive to the feelings of others, they would correct their degrading behavior.
No kidding.

Duh!
this will be an ignored article but this really has to be worse(or more important) than some think.
If these sensors degrade, then other sensors degrade.
Do climate data models account for degraded sensors ? If so how ? when does degradation start ? how much ? etc...
if we are to save the planet we have to get better sensors for are satalights. its the sensors causing global warming.
Yes, that’s exactly what they’ll do after abasing themselves before images of Saints Lysenko, Hubbard and Barnum.
“If those sensors were more sensitive to the feelings of others, they would correct their degrading behavior.”
Yes, given their apparent age, they should get cataract surgery.
They’ll just find another way to spin this so we’re all still doomed.
