Now I thought this meant the forests would die because of climate change, but actually the deforestation in the photo above is caused by environmentalists chopping them down in the name of Global Warming for biofuel.

The wood chips burnt in power stations actually come from timber industry byproducts: thinnings or crooked or diseased trees that were previously burnt in situ, or waste from sawmils.

Originally posted by xoggoth View Post. If we add just a few percent to the effects from CO2 it is not necessarily trivial. A small man-made rise in temperature, added to those from natural causes like increased solar activity, could still have a major effect because some things, such as the release of methane from soil and ocean and the major effect that will have, are not linear in proportion to temperature.
The release of methane from undersea clathrates and melting permafrost seems not to be a major risk (or less than was once thought), the biggest single feedback is water vapour. As I said, at constant temperature, relative humidity tends to remain stable: any water added to the atmosphere just rains out, however a warmer atmosphere can hold more water - humidity increases with temperature. As correctly noted above, water vapour is a powerful GHG, so the feedback is positive, amplifying the increase. This is not just a theory, the effect has been observed and found to be in line with model predictions.
Another non-linear progression is ice sheet breakup .....Last edited by pjclarke; 19 June 2015, 12:33.My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment

Sea ice, slightly, land ice, not so much. Minus 100 cubic kilometres a year since 2002.
