Answer:
increases the amount of energy in the Earth's budget.
Explanation:
Increase occurs in the amount of sea ice at the north pole leads to increases the amount of energy in the Earth's budget because this sea ice reflects the solar radiation back to space. Sea ice has a bright surface which causes 80 percent of the solar radiation reflected back into space. As sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface which leads the ocean to absorbs 90 percent of the sunlight which heat up the oceans, and increase in the temperature occurs causes more melting of ice so increasing sea ice is good for the earth.
