What’s the most significant cause of male pattern baldness? Hair loss.
What causes the common cold? Cold weather? Actually, not really. According to my source, a cold comes from viruses that are given a break from allergies, stress, and perhaps menstrual cycles.
Anyway, the latest big cause of global warming has been revealed by scientists: it’s global warming. I’m serious and it’s scary.
Apparently not only is the world warming from the buildup of carbon in the atmosphere, but that buildup combined with ozone layer depletion has caused the Southern Ocean to get a lot windier recently. This windiness has been mixing up the water, bringing carbon up from the deep sea and allowing less CO2 to dissolve from the atmosphere into the water. The net result of all this mixing and faultiness of our carbon sinks is that carbon concentrations in the atmosphere have grown 35% faster than the world economy, which was completely unexpected by the climate scientists.

That’s right, Josh, it is very scary when you understand the science.
What you’re talking about are positive feedbacks. ‘Positive’ only in the sense that they add to the increase in the warming. The climate has a bad habit of feeding off of itself. If it is cooling, then things happen naturally that make it cool faster. And scientists are finding everywhere they look that these feedbacks are kicking in right now……much sooner than they predicted.
Here is more about the feedbacks:
Think Not ‘Global’ Warming - Think ‘Oceans’ Warming
