A new study by researchers at Nagoya University showed that as the Arctic warms, snow- and ice-free areas increase, leading to an increase in dust emissions. The dust promotes the formation of ice crystals in the clouds. It is possible that more ice crystals in the clouds are making the clouds thinner and shorter-lived, thus reflecting less sunlight, which might heat the region during summer (emission feedback).

The Arctic is warming two to four times faster than average.
