Document Summary

The more daisy"s the colder the world, because they are white and reflect sunlight, which lowers the global temperature. Growth of daisies is dependent on average surface temperature. Temperature is affected by the number of daisies. An increase in solar output increases the temperature for a given population of daisies. Leads to new equilibrium points and greater stability over a wider range of population sizes-less unstable. Structured set of components consisting of variables that exhibit discernable relationships with one another or operate together as a complex whole, according to some observed pattern. operates and why it changes.
