Because the models predict little average precipitation increase nationwide over this period, the product of CAPE and precipitation gives about a 12 percent rise in cloud - to - ground lightning strikes per degree in the contiguous U.S., or a roughly 50 percent increase by 2100 if Earth sees the expected 4 - degree Celsius increase (7 degrees Fahrenheit) in temperature.

If the Earth's orbit was affected by a moon of comparable mass to the planet itself, then the orbit and thus the Solar forcing could cause some amount of chaos in the climate.

As the temperature rises, the thermal outgoing radiation rises in frequency, and would approach the solar spectrum if the Earth got that hot.

If the earth core is somewhere in the 5,000 to 10,000 deg C range; and the surface / lower troposphere is 15 deg C; and you say that the deep oceans are at 4 deg C; and are sucking in «heat» from the warm surface waters; where the hell is all that heat piling up down there.

These gravitational forces thus affect the actual shape of the trajectory spiral, and we all know: If the Earth moves for 2 months on an orbit spiral section, somewhat further away from the Sun, this will result in less RF (radiative forcing) for 2 months received on Earth.

Even if the earth's temperature had stayed the same or even decreased slighty over this time, ask yourself this: given what we know about the greenhouse effect and the levels of CO2 gases the world is creating, would you not be concerned that if we continue at the current rate, things are gonna get a hotter, eventually?

If the Earth moves on a particular spiral section closer to the Sun, the Earth receives additional RF and temperatures on Earth move up a bit....

If earth is not immune from such an event, how do the factors that likely contribute to such an eventuality impact the AGW equations and uncertainty levels?

If earth radiates 100 W / m ^ 2, then the shell will heat up and radiate 50 w / m ^ 2 inward and 50 w / m ^ 2 outward (it has twice as much area remember).

So what is the big deal if the earth warms up one or two degrees?

If the Earth was a simple rock with no water, but a Nitrogen atmosphere with, say, 250ppm of CO2, the greenhouse effects of the CO2 would ensure that the atmosphere was at least a little warm.

If the earth is in equilibrium, then it must emit exactly E, or it's temperature will change.

As if the earth's climate wouldn't change in response to a multi million year level change in probably the most basic component of climate long term after the sun — namely how much of the heat given off by the earth is lost, and now much is instead reintroduced to the lower atmosphere earth system.

If the Earth's climate system is getting out of hand, don't worry, we can regulate it with sulphur particles in the stratosphere, managing the amount of solar radiation reaching the planet.

1) if the Earth was cooler the sea level would still be rising.

Notwithstanding the scientific consensus on global warming, a few scientists — who probably not coincidently receive energy - industry funding — continue to question if the Earth's temperature is rising and question the need for action.

If Earth's heat was based on man - made global warming, the trend should be going up.

«If earth is moving... it would explain quakes... volcanoes... weird weather... and sounds.

If Earth's mean energy imbalance today is +0.5 W / m2, CO2 must be reduced from the current level of 395 ppm (global - mean annual - mean in mid-2013) to about 360 ppm to increase Earth's heat radiation to space by 0.5 W / m2 and restore energy balance.

«Glaciers in the Himalaya are receding faster than in any other part of the world and, if the present rate continues, the likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high if the Earth keeps warming at the current rate,» according to a 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.

If Earth's energy imbalance is 0.75 W / m2, CO2 must be reduced to about 345 ppm to restore energy balance [64], [75].

Of course, if the Earth was truly bare (as the moon is) the temperature would vary greatly depending on latitude and longitude, but it's still a reasonable model for these kind of discussions.

If the earth is round, then how the hell (f word not allowed.

And if the earth is warming then steady state does not exist.

Consider the collection of attractors and associated basins to be found at any point in the seasonal cycle, as if the earth were stalled in its orbit at that polar inclination.

If the earth had the same mass but higher density the whole surface would be smaller and atmosphere larger.

In fact, that mean flux of 161W / m ^ 2 would only support a temperature of about 235K even if the Earth were paved in black asphalt for which emissivity is 0.93.

If the Earth's temperature was controlled mainly by the sun, then it should have cooled between 2000 and 2008.

Ken: The 33 C figure is derived from looking at the global energy balance, i.e., comparing the actual average surface temperature to the average surface temperature that one would of necessity have to have if the Earth were otherwise the same (in particular, same albedo) but there was no greenhouse effect.

Now, if the Earth was isothermal right through, beyond the point at which the influence of the Sun becomes indiscernible, then one could say that a state of thermal equilibrium existed.

Do you agree that if the Earth has an albedo of 0.3 and has no atmosphere (and hence no greenhouse effect) that it's average surface temperature would be 255 K?

If the Earth's true emission temperature (which occurs somewhere at altitude in the troposphere) is less than the 255 K predicted by theory (assuming an albedo 0.306), then the Planck parameter may well be considerably less than the IPCC's value, in which event on this ground alone climate sensitivity may be well below its central estimate of 3.26 K per CO2 doubling.
