| Abstract | The response of the global atmosphere/ocean system to radiative forcing depends on a range of feedback processes. For example: Melting sea ice increases the amount of sunlight absorbed at the surface, a positive feedback since warming temperature causes sea ice melt which in turn causes more sunlight to be absorbed, amplifying the initial warming. Conversely, increases in surface temperature lead to increases in the amount of infrared radiation emitted to space, a cooling effect which counteract |
