Due to the slow progress being made in climate change mitigation and the threat of tipping points, albedo solutions could be a vital supplement to CO2 reduction efforts. An important aspect to bring to the attention of policymakers is the albedo-greenhouse gas (GHG) interaction strength. We model this interaction which has a major influence in assessing climate change. For example, modeling is used to help exemplify the amount of reverse forcing or albedo surface area modification required to mitigate CO2 GW effects. Additionally, albedo controls are the only way to mitigate impermeable hotspots and hydro-hotspots surfaces that have increased at an alarming rate. We illustrate their growth rate; discuss their historical recognized significance and known correlations to climate change. Our results are directed toward influencing policymakers on the unique practical aspects of albedo solutions and their imminent need.
