How will the climate change? ... The largest warming is predicted for cold northern regions in winter. The reason is that snow and ice reflect sunlight, so less snow means more heat is absorbed from the sun, which enhances any warming: a strong positive feedback effect. 3, record 1, English, - positive%20feedback%20effect

Quelles seront les caractéristiques des changements climatiques? [...] Les régions les plus affectées devraient être les régions froides du Nord en hiver. En effet, la neige et la glace reflètent la lumière du soleil, de sorte que moins la neige est abondante, plus le soleil absorbe de chaleur, ce qui contribue au réchauffement, par un puissant effet de rétroaction positive. 3, record 1, French, - effet%20de%20r%C3%A9troaction%20positive
