Delta T is always greater at the poles than it is at the equator. This is a fairly demonstrable quality. The heat absorption potential despite the reflective surface and the much smaller angle of the sun light rays simply overwhelms the the process in comparison to the average Delta T at the equator and is often not mentioned at all when the panic calls for melting ice caps due to temperature increase start dominating the next news cycle. It's as if they think the public is too stupid to be informed about that particular physical process or perhaps they are afraid that it might throw a question mark up when they are trying to paint the situation as dire only for one reason. As I have already debated here the progress of the Sun through it's midlife stage and on forward to the expanding Red Giant state is non-negotiable. As it burns through 600 million tons of hydrogen each and every second converting it to 596 million tons of helium thus losing s tiny bit of mass ever so slightly weakening its ability to control by gravitational containment an infinitesimally small increase in energy output occurs. This in turn translates into more heat traveling away from its surface. As that heat arrives here and is absorbed by our planet....the heat will have the most noticeable affect on the area that has the greatest heat transfer potential. That potential is always greater wherever the Delta T is greater. This has nothing whatsoever to do with greenhouse gas which cannot do anything at all either to speed up or slow down this process....ergo the non linear relationship of one surface to another is completely ignored.
