«Methane Bubbling from Siberian Thaw Lakes as a Positive Feedback to Climate Warming.»

This is the result of polar amplification - warming at the tropics is less than warming at the poles due to various effects such as positive feedback from ice albedo changes.

Viewing the system as a positive feedback loop with open loop amplification A = 1 (no amplification without ghg) it means the feedback factor B [in output = A / (1 - B)-RSB- must be 0.999 i.e 0.999 of the LW radiation from the surface must be sent back to the surface.

This acts as a positive feedback on the surface warming, because water vapor itself is a powerful greenhouse gas that, like CO2, absorbs and re-emits longwave radiation back to the surface.

Not only is sensitivity lower than expected, it is likely a moving target which will get smaller as positive feedbacks diminish and negative ones increase.

Re # 114 — what you speak of is known as positive feedback and yes I would imagine that most climate models are models of CO2 sensitivity due to CO2 levels rising due to human output and known natural means only and not by additional events such as the permaforst melting, or rain forests drying out of which both would potentially add large amounts of additional CO2 into the atmosphere.

Your father also wants the argument to go one way: if clouds operated as a positive feedback to decreased solar (further causing cooling) then they could just as well act as a positive feedback to the elevated greenhouse gases (further enhancing the warming).
