Summary

Description
English:
  • Block diagram indicating primary causes and wide-ranging effects, including feedback, of global warming and climate change.
  • Of course, other elements and causal paths (arrowed connecting lines) could have been included, but are omitted to keep the diagram reasonably simple for a lay audience.

—————————————————————————

The primary causes[1] and the wide-ranging effects[2][3] of global warming and resulting climate change. Some effects constitute feedback mechanisms that intensify global warming.[4]
