Decreased ice causes less energy to be reflected.
As global warming leads to the melting of ice, particularly in polar regions, less solar energy is reflected back into the atmosphere (a process known as albedo), resulting in more energy being absorbed by the Earth's surface. This can further contribute to warming and affect various environmental systems.
