   Positive climate change feedbacks amplify changes in the climate system, and can lead to destabilizing effects for the climate. [2] An increase in temperature from greenhouse gases leading to increased water vapor (which is itself a greenhouse gas) causing further warming is a positive feedback, but not a runaway effect, on Earth. [13]
