Some have continued to argue that various «buffers» in the system will prevent run - way warming — such as increased temperatures leading to increased cloud cover and
so dampening the warming (but clouds also have an insulating effect and so increase miniumum temperatures).
This includes feedbacks which can either amplify or
dampen that warming.
«There are now several independent pieces of evidence showing that the earth responds to the warming due to extra carbon dioxide by
dampening the warming.
