This reminds me of the #Daisyworld (the model developed by #Lovelock to demonstrate the #Gaia hypothesis), where black daisies (#CO2, etc) reduce #albedo & warm the planet. But we lack white daisies for the negative #feedback! We are in the positive phase! (eg Box 1 in https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169534722000611)
