Positive feed backs. A warming planet causes changes in various aspects of the planet, and some of these changes may cause further changes, including more heating, or even cooling.
One example of this is water vapor. As the planet warms, more water can be evaporated and held in the atmosphere. Since water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas, this extra water vapor in the atmosphere creates even more warming. And there you go, warming causing warming.
Other positive feed backs include the ice albedo effect and the melting of methane permafrost.
Negative feed backs would be an increase in clouds from evaporation. Plant life able to survive in areas previously unable to support life in another example of negative feedback.
The ice mass in the Arctic is generally decreasing, although there is a small short-term increase in sea ice, and with it comes albedo issues.
Another potential for global warming to cause further global warming is the the melting of the Siberian tundra. Considerable organic carbon is held in the soil, frozen so that it can not rot and convert into carbon dioxide. Should this melt, scientists say that further global warming would become unstoppable.
Yes. There are things happening in global warming that cause positive feedback. For example, Arctic ice is white and shiny, so it reflects a lot of the sun's rays. This is called albedo. As the atmosphere warms, the Arctic ice melts, exposing the dark sea below. The dark sea doesn't reflect the sun's radiation as well as the ice did, so it gets warmer.
Because the sea is warmer, it melts more of the ice. Because the ice has gone, the sea gets warmer.
This is called positive feedback, and it is an example of how global warming can cause more warming.
Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.
No, global warming will not cause mutations of any kind.
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
Global warming is a cause of the ozone depletion. However it is not the main cause of it.
Carbon dioxide. The increase of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.

No global warming can not cause Lake fires .
Polar bears do not cause global warming.
No, global warming will not cause mutations of any kind.
It doesn't!
There is very little connection between global warming and the ozone layer.
It is not. They are not both the same, in fact, they are cause and effect. Global warming is the warming of the earth. This warming is causing climate change.
Yes, it is. It is responsible for global warming.
No, but global warming can be a probable cause of wildfires.
Global Warming. Due to global warming, ice in the polar region is melting
They don't cause global warming, but they contribute in a small way towards it.
