We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as being too late. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1967, "Beyond Vietnam -- A Time to Break Silence"[1]
The American Meteorological Society defines a feedback as a sequence of interactions determining the response of the system to an initial change. In the climate system, a feedback is a process that can work as part of a loop to either lessen or add to the effects of a change in one part of the system. When a process helps keep components of the system in balance, it sets up a negative, or balancing, feedback loop. When a change in one part of the system causes changes in the same direction in other parts of the Earth system, a positive, or reinforcing, feedback loop occurs.[2]
