#1 With regard to the climate, I came across this while following the excitements in Germany in recent weeks. The conclusion bears attention as well:

Giant icebergs slow global warming

[DeutscheWelle] Researchers have found that the plume of cold water released from massive icebergs increases carbon storage in the seas - far more than previously thought. This negative feedback loop significantly slows climate change.
...
"We still don't fully understand the climate system - I wouldn't be surprised if there were further both negative and positive feedback that could possibly accelerate or slow down global warming," Bigg concluded [study author Grant Bigg, an Earth systems professor at the University of Sheffield in England].

#2 Lots of negative feedbacks none of which are not well understood by our "settled science" alarmists. For example, cloud formation. While clouds can trap heat (positive feedback) they also reflect sun light (negative feedback). Any excess of heat at the surface leads to, you guessed it, more evaporation. Evaporation transfers latent heat to the top of the atmosphere where when clouds form that latent heat is released and radiated out into space.
