Global warming is a man-made problem mostly caused by the burning fossils fuels which releases large amounts of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. However, carbon emissions from human activities are just half the story. The Earth’s own systems are raising the global temperatures even higher and these are called ‘feedback loops’. They include systems such as: forests, the atmosphere, permafrost and the albedo effect.
