Specifically, is the climate
dominated by positive feedbacks, such that small CO2 - induced changes in temperatures are multiplied many times, or even hit a tipping point where temperatures run away?
Waldorf says eHarmony has been
overwhelmed by positive feedback from users who found other dating sites to be more about short, casual relationships than long - term partnerships leading to marriage.
The study, «AKR1B1 promotes basal - like breast cancer progression
by a positive feedback loop that activates the EMT program,» which has been published in The Journal of Experimental Medicine, suggests that an inhibitor of this enzyme currently used to treat diabetes patients could be an effective therapy for this frequently deadly form of cancer.
«Furthermore, we showed that the formation of the patterns is
driven by a positive feedback between vegetation growth and water transport toward the growth location, very much like in the Namibian ecosystem, as we found in an earlier study.»
One problem is that dangerous levels of climate change are
exacerbated by positive feedback loops — changes that release more greenhouse gases from nature due to warming driven by humans.
Marie, I., Durbin, J. E. & Levy, D. E. Differential viral induction of distinct interferon - α
genes by positive feedback through interferon regulatory factor - 7.
The key ideas revolve around the way mutual funds and other asset managers react which makes interest rate movements and markets asymmetric: when rates fall the reactions are slow and measured, when they rise the response is
accelerate by positive feedback.
We're
gratified by the positive feedback we've received for new features like Quick Counts and Player Lock, and we're blown away by the creativity on display in the new Community Challenges mode.
Or is the Earth's climate an exception to most other physical processes, is it in fact dominated
by positive feedback effects that, like the sudden acceleration in grandma's car, apparently rockets the car forward into the house with only the lightest tap of the accelerator?
abrupt climate change occurring «over periods as short as decades or years,» which could be brought on
by positive feedbacks triggered by such events as ice sheet collapse on a large scale, the collapse of part of the Gulf Stream, dieback of the Amazon forest, or coral reef die - off.
Loree says he has been
surprised by the positive feedback the company's been getting, not only from customers and shareholders, but also the companies it calls «acquisition targets.»
Maybe the amount of young ice increases in response to the newly open water and resultant rapid cooling in the upper layers over winter, but eventually gets
overwhelmed by the positive feedbacks?
Featured Job Search Strategy reCareered Blog career career coach employer feedback getting noticed Job job search Planning recruiter researchWe get so
blinded by positive feedback that we forget how biased it is.
Therefore, while I agree about the instabilities of a system dominated
by positive feedbacks, I don't believe the Earth is an example of such a system.
Maybe the other climate scientists have other reasons to believe the climate is pretty sensitive to forcing (i.e., dominated
by positive feedbacks.)
But the science is at best equivocal, and more accurately nearly non-existent, for the second proposition that the climate is dominated
by positive feedbacks and will run away once it reaches some tipping point.
This means that 67 % to 80 % of IPCC forecasted warming is not from greenhouse gas theory but this second theory that the Earth's climate is dominated
by positive feedback.
when you claim ridiculous, do you mean like the IPCC idea that the climate system is dominated
by positive feedbacks, yet, the earth has gone from a Greenhouse with much higher average temps and CO2, to the current glacial epoch????
Skeptics have argued for quite some time that climate models assume too high of a sensitivity of temperature to CO2 — in other words, while most of us agree that Co2 increases can affect temperatures somewhat, the models assume temperature to be very sensitive to CO2, in large part because the models assume that the world's climate is dominated
by positive feedback.
