The primary causes[1] and the wide-ranging impacts (effects)[2][3]  of global warming and resulting climate change. Some effects constitute feedback mechanisms that intensify climate change and move it toward climate tipping points.[4]
English: Block diagram indicating primary causes and wide-ranging effects, including feedback, of global warming and climate change. Of course, other elements and causal paths (arrowed connecting lines) could have been included, but are omitted to keep the diagram reasonably simple for a lay audience. ————————————————————————— Suggested description: (uses Harvard citations to comply with Global warming citation standards) at Talk:Global warming/Citation standards The primary causes[1] and the wide-ranging effects[2][3] of global warming and resulting climate change.
