The appropriate answer is doing. decreased atmospheric water vapor leads to an increased greenhouse effect. This is not true because water vapor is a green house gas and increasing the levels of it in the atmosphere will lead to more warming. All the other answers represent appropriate feedback mechanisms associated with global warming.
