| Palaeoclimate data show that the Earth’s climate is remarkably sensitive to global forcings. Positive feedbacks predominate. This allows the entire planet to be whipsawed between climate states. One feedback, the ‘albedo flip’ property of ice/water, provides a powerful trigger mechanism. A climate forcing that ‘flips’ the albedo of a sufficient
portion of an ice sheet can spark a cataclysm. | | Published On: | 2/15/2008 | | Submitted On: | 2/15/2008 2:11:52 PM by Frank K | | Categories: | Global Warming |
