Climate forcings and feedbacks are similar in that they both have the ability to affect the temperature on Earth. What is the key different between forcings and feedbacks? forcings affect the climate and feedbacks affect the weather forcings cause a change in temperature and feedbacks amplify that change forcings have short term effects and feedbacks have long term effects forcings are anthropogenic and feedbacks are naturally occurring forcings affect the climate and feedbacks affect the weather forcings cause a change in temperature and feedbacks amplify that change forcings have short term effects and feedbacks have long term effects forcings are anthropogenic and feedbacks are naturally occurring.
