The Physics of Climate and Climate Change
... A radiative-convective model is only a first step in understanding climate change, as we must now allow the climate system to respond. This involves ‘simple’ dynamics, plus feedbacks. Feedbacks can be positive, enhancing any initial warming (or cooling), or negative, damping out any initial climatic ...
