Which consequence results when ice-albedo feedback amplifies warming?

💡 Explanation

Ice-albedo feedback lowers albedo, increasing absorbed radiation; this reduces the equator-to-pole temperature difference via radiative forcing reduction effect. Therefore, the subtropical jet weakens because it is driven by the atmosphere temperature gradient, rather than increased storm activity resulting from increased baroclinic instability.
