abstract: "Six real, independently verified Arctic climate mechanisms: sea-ice albedo feedback (Duspayev et al. 2024, Zhang et al. 2025), Greenland ice sheet mass balance (IMBIE Team 2020, Khan et al. 2014 -- a genuinely different mechanism balance than Antarctica's ocean-driven-basal-melt-dominant picture), permafrost carbon feedback (Schuur et al. 2015, Turetsky et al. 2020, Natali et al. 2019/2025), the genuinely contested Arctic-amplification/jet-stream cold-outbreak link (Cohen et al. 2021 vs. Blackport & Screen 2020), black carbon deposition (Cho et al. 2025), and Arctic Ocean acidification / East Siberian Arctic Shelf methane (Yamamoto-Kawai et al. 2009, Robbins et al. 2013, Steinbach et al. 2021). Sibling package to antarctic-ice-shelf-utac (P120), built the same way. Deliberately no UTAC/CREP/AFET bridge and no invented Gamma value -- see DISCLAIMER.md. GenesisAeon P127."
