The disequilibrium referred to comes from the fact that the ocean has a lot of thermal inertia and takes a long time to
warm up, whereas the atmosphere has a short
response time and quickly comes into equilibrium with any
given ocean temperature, corresponding to the current amount of greenhouse gases.
Paul Voosen, one of the most talented journalists probing human - driven climate change and related energy issues, has written an award - worthy two - part report for Greenwire on one of the most enduring sources of uncertainty in climate science — how the complicated
response of clouds in a
warming world limits understanding of how hot it could get from a
given rise in greenhouse gas concentrations:
(57j) For surface + tropospheric
warming in general, there is (
given a cold enough start) positive surface albedo feedback, that is concentrated at higher latitudes and in some seasons (though the temperature
response to reduced summer sea ice cover tends to be realized more in winter when there is more heat that must be released before ice forms).
As a result, I hardly expect such visuals to shift many views, particularly
given that
responses to the science pointing to substantial, enduring greenhouse
warming are shaped far more by divergent values, and feelings of risk, than the data.
But,
given how pathetic our
response has been to scientific consensus on global
warming, I'm not holding out hope.
[
Response: Scientists have looked at this repeatedly — and the other drivers don't appear to be playing much of a role — whereas the GHGs
give a lot of what we see (
warm troposphere, cool stratosphere etc.)-- gavin]
All reputable scientists in this area know and acknowledge that there remain uncertainties with respect to climate sensitivity (how
warm, how fast in
response to a
given level of GHGs)-- indeed that's where most of the research is going — along with a better understanding of the speed of impacts (e.g. ice loss).
By the carbon - climate
response function I
gave above (Matthews et al), the best estimate for the decrease in peak
warming is 0.2 C, with the 5 - 95 percentile limits 0.1 - 0.3 C.
I have explained the trick creating the illusion of the «Greenhouse Effect of 33 °C
warming by greenhouse gases» which anyone with even half a brain could follow, as well as
giving some other examples of the fake fisics created to hide this sleight of hand, and all the
response I get is silence or verbal diarrhoea as distraction.
The climate sensitivity value tells us how much the planet will
warm or cool in
response to a
given radiative forcing change.
Also, since the overall process is essentially CO2 - driven
warming plus feedback
responses, something close to 0C is probably also ruled out on the basis that feedbacks can't entirely cancel out the CO2 - drive
warming,
given that they would then turn off.
The authors also published their own
response with Carbon Brief, pointing out that they «present no evidence in our paper to suggest that future CO2 - induced
warming under any emissions scenario will be lower than the projections
given in AR5 [the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's fifth assessment report]».
Given the dimensions of the atmosphere and the speed of light and allowing for multiple bounces this delay is probably a few milliseconds and it might change the
response time of the gases in the atmosphere causing them to
warm up slightly faster after sunrise.

give scenarios for a 10, or even 5 degrees
warming in 2050, because also this is not supported by our understanding of the climate system
