Impacts of climate change can be

Identify an example of negative feedback loop in relation to climate change.

• Melting of ice caps leading to decresed albedo

• Increased CO₂ from increased biomass decomposition

• Increased CO₂ leading to increased plant growth and increased productivity

• Increased forest cover decreases albedo
