Which of the following responses to warming would *not* create an amplifying feedback (or self-reinforcing feedback) in the climate system? O Arctic soils warm, releasing soil carbon O as the ocean warms, it absorbs less carbon dioxide from the atmosphere O deciduous forest replaces conifer forest in Alaska, changing the albedo and increasing reflectivity

Expert Solution

Step 1
In global climate change, there are some factors that can either speeds up or slows down the temperature, these factors are known as feedback. It plays an important part in climate change.
There are two types of climatic feedback- positive feedback and negative feedback.
Positive feedback amplifies the temperature rise and negative feedback slows down the temperature.
