MISSION -- ENERGY BUDGET
Add haze. The arrows bend -- outgoing heat is kept. Run the years with a predicted direction. The haze makes no heat; it keeps it.

FEEDBACK FRAME
AMPLIFIER: ice-albedo
Warming melts ice, darker surface, absorbs more, warms further
STABILIZER: Planck response (always in frame)
The planet argues back -- warmer ground shines harder.
Direction: warming. You warmed it once. The ice did the rest.
