A carbon dioxide concentration increase, the atmosphere gets warmer, which results in the ocean temp increasing, which melts permafrost that releases more CO2, into the atmosphere, is this positive or negative feedback?
Positive Feedback
This is non-renewable energy requires a facility to be next to a water source, as it is needed to cool down some of the fuel rods
Nuclear
