    Observed changes on Earth generally describe a positive feedback loop, as surface, air, and water temperatures warm and albedo decreases. Research clearly shows that changes in temperature, ocean ice cover, and albedo contribute to a positive feedback cycle. However, clouds remain a source of considerable uncertainty when it comes to predicting the extent of climate change. In the sixth part of the EdGCM experience, I observed climate change in Australia. Typically, this region does not experience heavy snowfall, and Figure 7 shows that Australia's already low snow and ice presence will decrease by up to 5% by 2100. This means that the regions most prone to drought will become hotter and likely to experience intense droughts and agriculture will be affected due to the decline of natural water resources (Youngman
