Risky feedback loops that are accelerating global climate change may not be fully accounted for in current climate models, according to a recent study published in the scientific journal One Earth.

There are some negative feedback loops (meaning things that promote stability), primarily the Planck loop, where the more infrared energy escapes Earth into space the warmer the climate becomes.

Seven were even found to be negative, suggesting that they might help alleviate or slow climate change—but not enough to make up for the 27 positive feedback loops.

By Laura Paddison, CNN (CNN) -- Dangerous climate feedback loops are increasing global warming and risk causing a permanent shift away from the Earth's current climate, according to a new study.

"With permafrost thawing in the Arctic, there is a risk that the impacts of releasing methane trapped beneath permafrost will lead to positive climatic feedback effects," they wrote in the study.

The study also found seven "dampening" feedback loops, which help stabilize the climate system. These included the ability of land and oceans to absorb planet-heating carbon emissions.
