Further ice melting
When melting polar ice caps lead to increased absorption of solar radiation by exposed ocean water, it will cause further melting of the ice caps, contributing to a further decrease in ice cover and exacerbating the effects of climate change. This feedback loop can lead to a self-reinforcing cycle of ice melt and further warming of the planet.
