Instead of looking at the differences in the climate effects of two sources that add the same total energy to the climate system, we constrained the model so those sources had the same climate effects. (pnnl.gov)
There is no net loss of energy as one goes up through an atmosphere because a molecule at the surface has the same total energy as a molecule at the top of an atmosphere. (newclimatemodel.com)
It's the same issue raised by people arguing against blowing up an asteroid, that it turns a single small cannonball into a very large shotgun blast with the same total energy being delivered and delivering it to the atmosphere is still a problem. (blogs.nature.com)
