Climate Feedback Loops: The Hidden Driver of Global Warming A new study published in Environmental Research Letters reveals that warming induced emissions from wildfires, permafrost thaw, and wetland methane production are accelerating climate change at an alarming rate.
These "feedback loops" potentially add 20 to 30 percent more warming over current projections for this century.
The study, a comprehensive review of the complex interactions between climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, highlights the need to reassess our understanding of carbon budgets and policy targets in light of emerging feedbacks.
