Short summary
In this work we implement a feedback mechanism with proposed relevance for Snowball Earth in a simple climate model, a salt-albedo feedback. Our results show that this mechanism could have amplified cooling during the initial phase of Snowball Earth, suggesting it may have played an overlooked role in the climate evolution of Snowball Earth.
