If my miles and points balances, travel needs, and manufactured spend strategy were previously in equilibrium, they are now by
definition out of equilibrium: I've now accidentally purchased more (deeply - discounted) travel than I have a current plan for using.
(Actually, I believe what you are refering to, is as your link pointed
out, the IPCC
definition of equilibrium climate sensitivity, and not simple solar radiative
equilibrium, as we have been discussing in these last few posts.)
