Given enough time, this procedure will reach an equilibrium point at which network bandwidth is optimally allocated among senders.

But bond markets are just like any other market — the price of bonds is determined by an equilibrium being established between the available supply and demand for the bond at any given point in time.

To give another, more specific example, at a typical glacier on Mt. Baker, in Washington State, a summer temperature increase of 1 °C translates to a ~ 150 m increase in the altitude of the equilibrium line (the point where annual ice accumulation = annual loss), and a resulting ~ 2 km retreat of the glacier terminus.

I should point out that Kirchhoff's Law only applies at a given wavelength, and for a body in local thermal equilibrium.

However, once equilibrium is as close as it can be then theoretically, re-radiation should occur at night, or at the point when the temperature goes down, and presumably this is where the greenhouse effect should be felt the most — yet matter emits heat very quickly — and quickly thermalise to new temperatures, so as not to give off that much radiation.
