<p>The most important feedback was loss of polar sea ice, which was theorized to amplify global warming. This hasn&#8217;t happened. In fact the amount of sea ice on Earth may challenge record levels later this year.</p>

<p>If positive feedbacks dominated, Earth would have passed many tipping points in the past. But like all long standing systems, negative feedbacks dominate and keep the climate relatively stable.</p>
<p>All real scientists understand this, which is why climate scientists don&#8217;t.</p>
