Chapter 17, Problem 74(choose chapter or problem)
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that Greenland is losing ice, as a result of global warming, at approximately 250 Pg/year. (a) Find the energy needed to melt 250 Pg of ice. (b) Greenlands ice melt results most immediately from an imbalance between incoming and outgoing energyan imbalance created largely by the absorption of infrared radiation by human-produced greenhouse gases. Use your answer to part (a) to express Greenlands energy imbalance in watts per square meter of the Greenland ice sheets surface area. That your result is larger than the global imbalance of somewhat less than 1 W/m2 shows that the impact of global warming is greater in the Arctic
