Question of the Week / Re: QotW - 10.02.21 - Does snow cool the world by reflecting light?

The way I understand it is, snow reflects sunlight off the Earth's surface, which by itself would help cool the Earth by preventing some of the sun's energy from being absorbed into the Earth's surface; however, an increasing layer of carbon dioxide traps the reflected enegy, heating the earth up more, melting the polar icecaps, killing us all.
