This article throws light upon the three feedback mechanisms of current climate modelling uncertainties. The feedback mechanisms are: 1. Geophysical Climate Feedbacks 2. Biogeochemical Feedbacks 3. Secondary Climate Changes. Feedback Mechanism # 1. Geophysical Climate Feedbacks: These are as follows: 1. Increased water vapour due to warmer and water climate 2. Decreased reflectiveness (albedo) of the earth's surface due to [...]
