PREDICTIONS OF ACCELERATED CLIMATE CHANGE
Met Office, The Hadley Centre, March, 2007

The most important graphs in existence! The statements of the February 2007 installment of the IPCC report did not incorporate the estimated impacts of feedback loops. These graphs do. The short version: double all the figures and cut the timeline in half. We must all - act - now!

WHY THE NEWS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING IS WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT: FEEDBACK
The Guardian, Ian Sample, February 3, 2007

Dramatic flips in the way ecosystems absorb carbon dioxide will see oceans and vast swaths of land falter in their ability to draw up the greenhouse gas, allowing it to build up in the atmosphere and cause more warming. The phenomenon is known as a positive feedback - where global warming drives changes in ecosystems that themselves cause more heating.

EcoBridge, October 10, 2006

Detailed list of information about how positive feedbacks accelerate the global warming process via all of the interconnected elements of the global ecosystem.

WHAT IS A FEEDBACK LOOP?
ABC News, Bill Blakemore, February 18, 2006

Scientists consider feedback loops the single-biggest threat to civilization from global warming. Past a certain point - the tipping point, they say - there may be no stopping the changes.
