Present trends mislead, since feedback effects await.
The magnitude of further possible negative feedback effects can only be guessed at".
Another conservative economist, Greg Mankiw, describes dynamic scoring as an exercise in "estimating the feedback effects of tax proposals".
The increase in wind speed is partly a consequence of climate change itself - one of a handful of "positive feedback" effects which look likely to accelerate global warming.
In general, the open data initiative ignores such feedback effects – that the very act of publishing the data will influence the quality of future data.
If we do not act quickly to minimise these runaway feedback effects, we run the risk of making this planet, our home, uninhabitable.
Day said that there are a number of feedback effects that could see the Arctic ice loss continue in the coming years, as the Earth warms up.
Like the cycles that govern global energy and carbon systems, public attitudes are subject to positive feedback effects that can amplify small changes and result in rapid shifts.
"You Had It Coming" (Epic) finds Beck in typically volcanic form, spewing a lava of twisted notes and quirky feedback effects.
Other positive feedback effects expected by scientists, are releases of carbon stored in frozen arctic ecosystems and an increase in the sun's energy absorbed by the planet as ice melts.
One is that climate change may be not steady but abrupt; the other is that the pressures we inflict on the climate may trigger wholly unexpected developments from feedback effects.
