What are some of the major driving forces behind both the risks of climate change and our vulnerabilities to that change? Which scientific experts would be best able to assemble a comprehensive assessment of climate change risks? What type of policymakers should be involved, and at what levels (local, regional, national and international)?
In class we discussed several feedback processes including homeostasis, predator-prey
relationships, and viral social media content. We then extended the idea to feedbacks of the
climate system in response to climate change. We saw that feedbacks can be thought of generally
by considering a) a system described by one or more state variables; b) an equilibrium
established by a balance or rates affecting those state variables; c) an external change or
perturbation; d) a process that modifies the rates to amplify or damp the perturbation.
Please provide three examples of interesting systems with feedbacks. One example could be a
climate feedback; the others should be novel examples (i.e. systems we didn't discuss in class).
For each system please describe the state variables, the rates that establish the equilibrium, some
external change, and one or more feedback processes. Characterize the feedback(s) as positive or
negative.
What pieces of evidence are presented that prove or reinforce the connection between climate change and the changing meteorological patterns?

Which of the following statements accurately explains the trends in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide from 200,000 years to the present? * 400 350 8 4 300 250 8- 200 -12 800,000 150 600,000 400,000 200,000 Years Before Present Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have remained constant between 200,000 years ago until 50,000 years ago, after which they declined steadily. Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations increased exponentially until reaching a carrying capacity of 400ppm. Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have risen and fallen between 150ppm and 250ppm until rising exponentially in recent years. Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations have risen and fallen between 175ppm and 330ppm.
