Equilibrium climate sensitivity
Equilibrium climate sensitivity starts with the scientific calculation of the impact of increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It includes the effect of changes in albedo simply as a multiplication factor of greenhouse gas impacts. Earth’s Energy Balance There is a simple formula to show the elements that make up the earth’s energy balance. It… Continue reading Equilibrium climate sensitivity
