Feedbacks

The key unknown, because of the complexities of climate feedbacks, is how much warmer. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Recent studies of the physics of how deep clouds moisturize the atmosphere strongly suggest that this largest of the positive feedbacks is not only negative, but very large. ❋ Unknown (2006)

This suggests that any long-term feedbacks are net neutral, because otherwise the figures derived from longer term changes in radiation e.g. seasonal would be affected by longer term feedbacks and those measured over the course of hours would not, giving different figures. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Could there be no non-neutral long term feedbacks? ❋ Unknown (2006)

Long-term feedbacks could conceivably change its magnitude, but it already incorporates many of the shorter term feedbacks, so I think a massive difference between that calculated value and reality is unlikely. ❋ Unknown (2006)

This means that both the short-term feedbacks on insolation and the long-term feedbacks on ocean mixing are going to be only approximations. ❋ Unknown (2005)

However, because of the short-term feedbacks inherent to capitalism and its inability to appreciate non-monetary costs to the environment, alternative energy sources will be just that-alternatives, not replacements. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In para. 63 he nails it all together by saying it is clear we can't be accurate regarding short term feedbacks (or even long-term climate sensitivity). ❋ Deconvoluter (2010)

"We wanted to look at Earth-system climate sensitivity, which includes the effects of long-term feedbacks such as change in continental ice-sheets, terrestrial ecosystems and greenhouse gases other than CO2," he added. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It could happen faster if the sensitivity is higher (cooling agents are not as cooling as thought perhaps) and longer term feedbacks may double the charney limit but as yet no IPCC update but one from James Hansen which although coming from him might be see as true only means it needs to go through the IPCC process to be true to world opinion and our reaction to it. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The new study assessed long-term feedbacks, including changes in continental ice-sheets, shifting terrestrial ecosystems, and the impacts of greenhouse gases other than CO2. ❋ Julia Whitty (2009)

I do however understand why the changing temperature of the troposphere due to ENSO will have an effect on the way radiation is processed (ie latent and sensible heat fluxes from the ocean surface+ short-term feedbacks), but if this made a significant effect on the total heat content of the ocean, wouldn't we expect to be able to correlate OHCA time series with ENSO? ❋ Unknown (2009)

(Emphasis added) 5-6C by 2100 has become a more likely prospect as scientists increasingly realise that long-term feedbacks as identified by James Hansen and others are cutting in and concern for possible tipping points such as methane emissions grows. ❋ Unknown (2009)

BUT. .it should be remembered that: (1) the satellite results here (and those of Lindzen and Choi) are for just the tropics, while the model feedbacks are for global averages; and (2) it has not yet been demonstrated that short-term feedbacks in the real climate system (or in the models) are substantially the same as the long-term feedbacks. ❋ Unknown (2009)

These models take into account only relatively fast feedbacks, such as changes in atmospheric water vapor and the distribution of sea ice, clouds and aerosols ... we wanted to look at Earth-system climate sensitivity, which includes the effects of long-term feedbacks such as change in continental ice-sheets, terrestrial ecosystems and greenhouse gases other than CO2. ❋ Unknown (2009)

[The professor] gave me feedback on my paper; I hope I can [incorporate] it and get my [grade] up from an "F" to an "A". ❋ Bckbiblio (2006)

"When we set the [mics] and turned [the system] up for [mic] checks the feedback was screaming" ❋ Anasthetized_Bass (2006)

Dude, I just [took] a [piss] and got feedback...how [embarrassing]! ❋ Schmidtty (2006)

I had to wait for the toilet to [recharge] so I could [flush down] the [feedback] before anyone else saw it. ❋ StoneGoHome (2020)
