CLIMATE FEEDBACKS
If
the climateÕs response to an increase in greenhouse
gases were simply to increase its temperature
to compensate for the increase in greenhouse
trapping of infrared radiation, the climate
change problem would be quite simple.
Unfortunately,
there are climate feedbacks that come
into play, influencing the climateÕs response. The main climate feedbacks are:
(1) Water vapor feedback
(2) Surface albedo feedback
(3) Cloud feedback
