A rising planetary temperature sets in motion all sorts of secondary effects that can boost the temperature even higher -- effects like melting Arctic sea ice, rising levels of heat-trapping water vapor in the atmosphere, and more. When researches try to figure out how high the thermometer will go over the next century or two, it's important to figure in these so-called feedbacks...
