Which feedback consequence accelerates stalactite growth in temperate climates?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil CO₂ enhances carbonic acid formation, stimulating limestone dissolution through chemical weathering. A higher rate of dripping carbonate water from the ceiling occurs because dissolution is accelerated, therefore stalactites grow faster, rather than slower as with other options.
