Yeah, that's why I prefaced it with it being a dumb question. :)
If the feed backs are accelerating global warming, it wouldn't be too distant a notion from the premise of runaway greenhouse gases.
I'll have to brush-up on my nomenclature to not ask such bone-headed questions in the future. :(
However, reality is somewhere between "doomsday cult nonsense" and the flippant, dismissive tone of your comment that characterizes the worsening climate crisis about which our species is not doing enough as "minor/major climate changes." That's definitely understating the costs and disruptions that human civilization is facing on its current course.
I wonder if OP was referring to any of the more immediately concerning positive feedback loops: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_feedback#Positi...
