Which of the following is evidence that global warming is a positive feedback loop?
Global warming creates changes that slow down the warming of Earth.

Volcanic eruptions cause climate change by
reflecting sunlight and therefore decreasing temperatures
absorbing sunlight and therefore increasing temperatures
polluting the earth causing global warming
reflecting sunlight and therefore increasing temperatures
Periodic ice ages are due to
pollution
burning of fossil fuels
