Wouldn’t frozen CO2 (dry ice) also disappear though? Do we know it was WATER ice and not dry ice?
Why does that second picture make me want to say “Danger Danger Warning Will Robinson?”
Yes, ice on an otherwise frozen part of a somewhat frozen planet could get me all excited too … not. Now, footprints in that Ice might get my attention. ;-)
“Today will see a high temperature of a toasty -26 degrees F.”
What I have been wondering is if the high temperature is only reachidng -26 degrees F how did the ice melt. Does not the 32 degree F still hold?
I just stared at the picture of Earth and our Moon for about 10 minutes. Wow, just wow.
If there were some way to get the water into the atmosphere to trap more heat, with all that CO2, we could plant some kind of green vegetation and viola - oxygen and atmosphere!
