For years I have been saying that we are underestimating the affects of Climate Change. Here are a few of my posts over the years, We Continue to Underestimate the Magnitude of Our Climate Crisis--Glaciers. Report--Climate Change much Worse, Report Released on Black Friday to try and Bury the Bad News. Then recently I ran across a report by two Oregon State researchers saying that indeed we have been underestimating the affects of Climate Change.
Basically, Climate Change is creating feedback loops, hereto unrecognized, that are amplifying the affects of Climate Change.
An international collaboration led by Oregon State University scientists has identified 27 global warming accelerators known as amplifying feedback loops, including some that the researchers say may not be fully accounted for in climate models...
In climate science, amplifying feedback loops are situations where a climate-caused alteration can trigger a process that causes even more warming, which in turn intensifies the alteration. An example would be warming in the Arctic, leading to melting sea ice, which results in further warming because sea water absorbs rather than reflects solar radiation. Science Daily
