I do notice also that the albedo argument has returned: without polar icereflecting sunlight back into space, the darker arctic water will get hotter. But....this means more water vapor. Clouds, anyone?
Low altitude clouds improve albedo, which is good in this case. High altitude water is very bad, though, and trumps low altitude clouds.
