----- (the other approach I was thinking of involved considering how the lapse rate equilibrates so that the net flux is constant over some thickness for the whole LW spectrum (approximately true for equilibrium above the tropopause).

Solar forcing has increased over the 20th century and given that the oceans have not yet had time to equilibrate to the new levels of forcing, it must have contributed some to the recent warming, in fact, that equlibration was further delayed by the cooling period, so the unrealized climate commitment would have been greater than ordinarily expected given that most of the increase in solar activity occurred in the first half of the century.
