Description: Diagram of factors that determine climate sensitivity. After increasing CO2 levels (or any other type of forcing), the climate system immediately starts warming. This warming gets amplified by the net effect of feedbacks. Self-reinforcing feedbacks include water vapour, ice-albedo and clouds. The stabilizing feedback of the lapse rate is smaller than the self-reinforcing feedbacks.
