A system can have a balance between positive and negative feeback. If it has a mix of both, there's amplification, not necessarily a runaway.

I'm not sure of that. If negative feedback dominates and overwhelms any positive feedback, then how would you get amplification?

Anyway, the burden is on the proponents of CAGW to demonstrate amplification. So far they have not done so.
