Phrases with «carbon feedback»

"Carbon feedback" refers to how the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere can further contribute to climate change. When carbon dioxide is released from activities such as burning fossil fuels, it traps heat in the atmosphere, causing global warming. This warming can then lead to additional processes that release more carbon dioxide, creating a feedback loop that amplifies climate change. Full definition
