Take a COOL Guess – the Fun Quiz on Clean Energy. Today’s Topic: Global Warming

Relevance: Melting ice has the potential to cause a “runaway” effect with respect to global climate change, as the darker water absorbs more heat from the sun than the lighter colored ice, which tended to reflect that heat back into space.
