Considerations of Climate Mitigation Feedback Phenomena
George Backus
What the paper says
Many global institutions and countries now recognize the need for adaptation to climate‐induced events and are embracing renewable energy to mitigate climate change. These efforts will be undermined, however, because of the two neglected feedback loop processes addressed in this paper. Analyses incorporating the feedback loops are explained below in detail. The analyses indicate that expected efforts to mitigate climate change will not prevent unacceptable consequences. Countries will therefore need to accommodate polycrisis management dynamics. This is a task that would be well‐suited to the System Dynamics community.
