Always pay close attention to the fine print in the auction description and only buy from reputable sellers with
strong feedback ratings.

He said the central bank's
rate rise talk could restart the negative
feedback loop that took place this year, when a
strong dollar leaned on emerging markets currencies, including the Chinese yuan, and commodities prices, creating tight financial conditions and economic weakness.
Companies with the
strongest retention
rates offer training programs, provide regular
feedback, recognize hard work and spend quality time with employees.
Recent observational and modelling evidence thus provides
strong additional support for the combined water vapour - lapse
rate feedback being around the strength found in AOGCMs.
In this particular environment, it doesn't look like there are
strong negative
feedbacks on erosion
rates because the material appears to be simply too fine - grained and ice - rich to be redeposited locally and form barriers, bars, etc..
Finally, because of the posited
strong water vapor
feedback, which depends on absolute, not anomaly, temperatures, one would expect that the relationship should be positive, not negative due to the greater
rate of accumulation of water vapor at higher absolute temperatures.
CH4 — yes, the
rate at which, as a
feedback, a C reservoir is depleted with some fraction going into the atmosphere would be relatively more impotant if more of it is as CH4; if Chuvian runaway (thanks, wili) can be achieved, to the point of exhausting some (designated portion of a) surface C reservoir, with a CH4 flux, then there would be a cooling period afterword (setting aside other slow
feedbacks), and if the CH4
feedback were slowed down, then the
feedback wouldn't be as
strong, and perhaps the C reservoir wouldn't be exhausted unless the external forcing were larger (this being a hypothetical discussion; no assertion that it will happen).
If we isolate the ocean for diagnosis, there is a rather short list of suspect forcings and
feedbacks (ie changes in shortwave reaching ocean surface possibly from
strong negative aerosol
feedbacks, net positive
rate change in loss of longwave from the ocean (which would have implications for the positive WVF), net positive heat loss through evaporation without balancing compensation (with other implications for positive WVF).
The water vapor and lapse
rate feedbacks are typically combined because models show a
strong negative correlation between the two.
where it is clear that water vapour
feedback is MUCH
stronger and counteracts the «lapse
rate»
feedback.
However, the contributions of water vapour / lapse
rate and surface albedo
feedbacks to sensitivity spread are non-negligible, particularly since their impact is reinforced by the mean model cloud
feedback being positive and quite
strong.
Quoting Dr Roy Spencer: «One of the most robust
feedback relationships across the IPCC climate models is that those models with the
strongest positive water vapor
feedback have the
strongest negative lapse
rate feedback (which is what the «hot spot» would represent).
When that is done, the evidence for substantial positive
feedback from water vapor minus lapse
rate, and snow / ice becomes almost inescapable, and the evidence from clouds suggests a positive
feedback and excludes a
strong negative
feedback (long term — see below).
If there is a
strong negative
feedback in the climate system, be it clouds, lapse
rate, etc it would preclude large temperature variations in global temperature caused by a perturbation in climate, regardless of the cause of the perturbation
Elliott et al. conclude, based on the selected data below 500 hPa only that SH (moisture content) increased slightly with warming, but not at a
rate sufficiently
strong to maintain constant RH, as is assumed by the IPCC models in estimating water vapor
feedback.
In AOGCMs, the water vapour
feedback constitutes by far the
strongest feedback, with a multi-model mean and standard deviation for the MMD at PCMDI of 1.80 ± 0.18 W m — 2 °C — 1, followed by the (negative) lapse
rate feedback -LRB--- 0.84 ± 0.26 W m — 2 °C — 1) and the surface albedo
feedback (0.26 ± 0.08 W m — 2 °C — 1).
But as Dessler also says, even if the topical troposphere isn't warming faster than the surface, this just means the negative lapse
rate feedback isn't as
strong, and the sum of WV+LR
feedbacks remains the same.
