nonlinear climate responses
Nonlinear climate responses refer to the complex and often unpredictable reactions of the Earth's climate system to external factors such as greenhouse gas emissions or changes in solar radiation. Unlike linear responses, nonlinear climate responses involve feedback loops and interactions between different components of the climate system, which can amplify or dampen the initial effects, leading to disproportionately larger or smaller changes in climate patterns.
