We do not know, still do not know, what are all the feedbacks in the system.
And yes, this is after the feedbacks, after all of the various things that a temperature rise causes to happen play themselves out.
FORBES: Climate Change Is Now Less Of a Problem. So We Need To Do Less About Climate Change
No, not how much it will change first and then go haywire because of all the feedbacks: how much will it change in total?
FORBES: Lower Climate Sensitivity Means That Climate Change Becomes A Much Cheaper Problem To Solve
Now more than ever, there is a need to increase our knowledge of the feedbacks between climate, ocean and changes induced by human activities.
The real, emerging science, as the Heartland publications indicate, is that the feedbacks are more likely to be offset by negative feedbacks, resulting in a much smaller net temperature change.
FORBES: Fakegate: The Obnoxious Fabrication of Global Warming
In fact, we know that some set of extremes the negative feedbacks must overwhelm the positive as otherwise, those past times when we have higher CO2 and thus temperatures would have led to a runaway Venus like effect.
The third phase of the programme which involves testing and synthesizing the first feedbacks will run until the Programme is implemented From March 2011 on.
The loss of observations of key Earth system components and processes will weaken the ability to understand and forecast changes arising from interactions and feedbacks within the Earth system and limit the data and information available to users and decision makers.
First, their models tended to ignore the myriad amplifying carbon cycle feedbacks that we now know are kicking in (such as the defrosting tundra).
Many other positive feedbacks such as the wealth effect, relative valuation methods, and the increased ability to borrow against inflated asset prices operate in financial bubbles and bull markets.
FORBES: Chaos Theory, Financial Markets, and Global Weirding
To quickly explain why this view is certainly not ours, consider that our position is that the abnormally high consumption of US households during the 2000s was matched by an abnormally large trade deficit in goods and that feedbacks among, borrowing, consumption, the dollar, US long term rates, foreign reserve accumulation and other factors worked to keep these two effects moving in tandem.
What is the temperature rise, after the effects of both positive and negative feedbacks, from a doubling of atmospheric CO2-e?
So we know absolutely that there are feedbacks involved: they are central to the entire subject and point at issue in fact.
"Such a loss of Arctic sea ice has recently been assessed to set in motion powerful climate feedbacks which will have an impact far beyond the Arctic itself, " Sommerkorn said.
We also know that there are negative feedbacks, say, greater plant growth and possibly greater carbon storage in the soil as a result.
FORBES: No, You Can't Build a Big Computer to Model the Financial Markets
The likely reason for that failure is that while the models recognize that increased CO2 itself will not produce a big, catastrophic increase in global temperatures, the models assume that the very small amount of warming caused by increased CO2 will result in much larger temperature increases caused by positive feedbacks.
