I would never considered algae as something that would be an issue in the arctic!

Scientist have realized this could be a major issue for Greenland and are not wasting any time investigating what could be a signicant factor in the melting of the glaciers

I could see this happening. Algae would absorb light/heat which would collect thermal energy rather than reflect it.

So, it's the algae that's the problem
Clorox will fix that!

Warmer temperatures and higher CO2 could (needs to be proven) increase the growth of algae.

This is a "feedfoward" --- human induced greenhouse changes results in physical alterations to accelerate consequences.
