Less sea surface lowers the planet's albedo, which means less heat/light reflected back into space. More solar heating of the planet. Bad.
That is what I would have thought. Just wanted to hear it from someone else.
So, it would be bad if I started lowering the surface area of the oceans/seas.
Not too many folks do that/this, though.
Not sure how bad, on a scale of coal-burning, or rainforest-stripping, or car-driving this is, though. Any guesses?
That is, if I neither burned coal, drove cars, nor stripped rain forests, but I did lessen the ocean-covered Earth, am I the worst offender, or somewhere down the line? Worse from just car-driving folks? Or the best offender?
