- Indeed, there is a great deal of investigation of all the feedback
- mechanisms in the climate system. The feedback mechanisms are not
- yet determined with any certainty.
-
- If there are negative feeedback mechanisms of the same order of magnitude
- as the climate response to CO2, the net result is a stable system that
- tries to return to its initial state. If the feedback mechanisms are
- positive, they accelarate the change.

- Paleoclimatology gives us some clues as to the limits of natural pertubations
- of earth's climate.
