So, the equilibrium one discussing is a balance of heat, if this balance of heat included potential energy of molecules at higher point in the gravity [what Vaughan described].

The high thermal inertia of the oceans means there is a slow climb in temperature to the new equilibrium point.

Spencer and Braswell freely admit that using their simple model is just the first step in a complicated diagnosis, but also point out that the results from simple models provide insight that should help guide the development of more complex models, and ultimately could help unravel some of the mystery as to why full climate models produce high estimates of the earth's equilibrium climate sensitivity, while estimates based in real - world observations are much lower.

He mentions at one point that increased CO2 from natural sources results in a temporary (not quantified) absorption of heat in the lower troposphere before thermal equilibrium is restored as the CO2 is released into space from higher and cooler parts of the atmosphere.

Adding CO2 will shift the equilibrium point for global temperature to a higher value.
