Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (DOE) / UC Berkeley
Lead authors: Margaret Torn, John Harte
Where published: Geophysical Research Letters
global climate change can set-off positive feedback loops in nature which amplify warming and cooling trends ... able to quantify the feedback implied by past increases in natural carbon dioxide and methane gas levels. Their results point to global temperatures at the end of this century that may be significantly higher than current climate models are predicting.
