I wonder what “happens” to the reflected albedo from the poles and similar areas where high reflectivity and low absorbtion occur.
In the urban “island” areas it is easy to see that buildings capture the limited reflections, but in polar areas, the air isn’t warmed (much), the surface doesn’t melt (much) so what happens to all that reflected energy?
I have known people to move to wonderful houses in beautiful developments but find that it requires them to drive many miles to work. They can’t even buy a loaf of bread without using a car. Kids cannot visit a park without being driven. Schools are beyond walking distance. It’s all so idyllic? Yet moving back into the city seems to make a lot more sense.
