geophysics - Can a small change in the Earth temperature give rise to large-scale climate changes?


Earth's atmosphere is a chaotic system. In such systems arbitrarily small changes the conditions can give rise to very large effects.


There are many rumors about the physical and large scale environmental impacts that global warming will cause in the future. (for example, here)


After a remark made by one of the users here, I thought to ask this question:



Can a small change in Earth's temperature (that can't be felt) give rise to large-scale climate changes?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
