There is a widespread view that a 4 degrees C future is incompatible with an organised global community, is likely to be beyond «adaptation,» is devastating to the majority of ecosystems, and has a high probability of not being stable (i.e., 4 degrees C would be an interim temperature on the way to a much
higher equilibrium level).

If the IT revolution increases profitable investment opportunities, then the
equilibrium real interest rate must rise in order to encourage households to save more to finance the
higher level of investment.
In addition, the orange Asupina variety stashes its carotenoids in microscopic sacs during ripening, shifting the chemical
equilibrium in the fruit so it can make even
higher levels of these substances.
The fusion rate in the core is in a self - correcting
equilibrium: a slightly
higher rate of fusion would cause the core to heat up more and expand slightly against the weight of the outer layers, reducing the fusion rate and correcting the perturbation; and a slightly lower rate would cause the core to shrink slightly, increasing the fusion rate and again reverting it to its present
level.
Your total testosterone is definitely
high, but I am always skeptical of free testosterone
levels if not done by calculation method, or
equilibrium dialysis.
I found it a very compelling and moving story about something very basic, which is a guy who actually rises above everything and maintains his
equilibrium and his
higher self during an experience that reduces most men to the

So while I'm confident of a step - up here, based on the revenue / earnings drivers I've fully confirmed already (vs. those still to be confirmed), I'm also conscious that changes in fee rates / AUME, sterling, possible new business investment, etc. could eat into this earnings step - up, and / or a new revenue & earnings
equilibrium might simply re-emerge (albeit, at
higher levels).
The increase / decrease of net upward LW flux going from one
level to a
higher level equals the net cooling / heating of that layer by LW radiation — in
equilibrium this must be balanaced by solar heating / cooling + convective / conductive heating / cooling, and those are related to flux variation in height in the same way.
Thus the «only 0.6 W / m2» in insolation since the Maunder Minimum, in reality may have been fortified to a difference of several W / m2... While there is no change in solar strength in the past 25 years, the
level still is
high and the oceans still may not be in
equilibrium with the heat inflow...
Fred, are you distinguishing the stratosphere temperature — during the period of nonequilibrium from — during the new
equilibrium period after CO2 stops increasing and the warming has
leveled off at a
higher temperature?
And even if there is little trend of solar in the past decades (there still is some discussion about an upswing in minimum solar strength), the impact of the
higher - than - past
level of solar intensity is delayed by the oceans and only now may come into
equilibrium...
The alternative formula, that a change in temperature causes a change in dynamic
equilibrium between CO2 release and CO2 absorption is far more normal in nature:
higher temperatures lead to a new
equilibrium at a
higher CO2
level.
In your many lines — thankyou — i found the key argument how you can be convinced that the temperature only creates variation for a very short time: YOu write: «The net result is that a new
equilibrium (at a
higher CO2
level) is reached in relative short time, between a few months (seasons) to a few years (sustained
higher average temperature
level).»
A new
equilibrium (at a
higher CO2
level) can be reached, if the increase in atmospheric CO2 is sufficient to increase the uptake by the oceans and biosphere to the same
levels as the continuous addition.
Thus while CO2 and temperature are thightly coupled and CO2
levels in the atmosphere follow the seasonal cooling within a month, the other factor, the emissions independently increases the amounts, pushing the setpoint of the
equilibrium to
higher levels.
It's the
equilibrium state — iceless,

Yes, but the thermosphere is not in local thermodynamic
equilibrium likely not even considered part of the «radiant» atmosphere since there are considerable
high energy photons and particles passing through it at various angles impacting molecules that can not easily share their energy
level..
By 1993,
levels had decayed back to ~ 6 %
higher than
equilibrium.
However it does still mean that temperatures rise — and at any given
level of CO2 forcing this effect will mean a
higher equilibrium temperature.
Help me here... A system in
equilibrium quickly returns to
equilibrium at a
higher level when it absorbs an IR photon: CO2 + N2CO2 + N2 becomes CO2 * + N2CO2 + N2 + (pardon the limited special character skills).
The new entropy at
equilibrium is
higher and stays constant at the
higher level b / c the control volume is adiabatic.

High Canadian Arctic: maps and climatic interpretation.
It doesn't change the fact that there is more of that element and it will seek a new
level of
equilibrium with a
higher level in the atmosphere.
Taken together, the average of the warmest times during the middle Pliocene presents a view of the
equilibrium state of a globally warmer world, in which atmospheric CO2 concentrations (estimated to be between 360 to 400 ppm) were likely
higher than pre-industrial values (Raymo and Rau, 1992; Raymo et al., 1996), and in which geologic evidence and isotopes agree that sea
level was at least 15 to 25 m above modern
levels (Dowsett and Cronin, 1990; Shackleton et al., 1995), with correspondingly reduced ice sheets and lower continental aridity (Guo et al., 2004).
if a disturbance is a continuous fixed addition, then the process will increase assymptotely to a new,
higher level equilibrium.
That leads to an increased pCO2 of the atmosphere, until the average pCO2 of the oceans and the atmosphere are again in
equilibrium (at a
higher level than before).
Hence, CO2 and water vapor must, in an
equilibrium, produce about 33 ° C. However, at the top of Everest the temperature in the
high summer climbing season is about -16 and in winters falls to about -37 ° C, yet the CO2 pressure is only about a third of that at sea
level.
Or, conversely, pricing to one side of the market may appear to be
higher than the
equilibrium level when viewed for that side alone, because this funds a subsidy to increase participation on another side of the market that, in turn, creates valuable network effects for the side of the market facing the
higher fees.
I think the
equilibrium price for Gold is probably about $ 775 - $ 825 But the artificial
high price for the last few years has driven supply way above an
