In equilibrium, all fluxes into the surface will be balanced by fluxes out of the surface (including momentum, etc, as well as energy), so whatever lies beneath the surface gives the surface an effective heat capacity and also (in the oceans) some ability for local / regional imbalances to be balanced globally, with all of that responding to forcings and PR+CR and other feedbacks at the surface.

Promote field and modeling efforts to predict how atmospheric forcings will degrade near - surface permafrost and alter the surface energy balance and hydrology in the Arctic, at local to regional scales.

This team, led by Jose Marengo of the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE), assesses the local impacts of the global SRES A1B emissions scenario, an old IPCC scenario for (A1) a world with rapid economic growth, decreasing population after 2050 and rapid implementation of efficient technologies with (B) a «balanced mix of energy sources».

But on larger scales (both in space and time) the earth is a planet of our local star; the sun is our only source of (purely radiative) energy; we have an atmosphere which clearly operates to reduce diurnal variations in temperature (which on black body basis would otherwise be huge, on human scale) and the radiative budget must always be exactly in balance.

Reduce dependency on (imported) fossil fuels (balance of payments, reliance on potentially unfriendly or unstable nations as suppliers, high cost at the pump, all problems as seen from US viewpoint): — encourage nuclear power generation (cut red tape)-- encourage energy savings and improved efficiency projects (tax breaks)-- encourage basic research into new (non fossil fuel) resources (subsidies)-- encourage imports from friendly neighbor, Canada (Keystone pipeline)-- encourage local oil and gas exploration («drill, baby, drill»)-- encourage «clean coal» projects (tax incentives)-- set goal to become energy independent within ten years

Since then YSCP has been deployed across Yokohama, a major city of 3.7 million, applying smart grids for the energy management of households, office buildings and local communities, introducing large - scale renewable energy and optimizing the energy supply and demand balance.

That 150 C range of temperatures also covers a wide variety of terrains, and ground cover, even deep oceans, and the thermal energy flows in each of those different environments relate to the local temperature in totally different ways, so there is no relationship between the «average» global temperature (even if it was possible to measure such a number) and the energy balance of the planet.

of the added heat energy goes directly into the usual increased kinetic energy of the ideal gas, which is still precisely described by equipartition and still has a local MB distribution of velocities in any slice of the gas large compared to the MFP and small compared to, so that my detailed balance argument is not, actually asymptotically incorrect.

The blackbody temperature isn't particularly relevant at a single point at the surface because there are lots of different heat transport mechanisms that affect the local surface energy balance and there's lots of thermal inertia at the surface, particularly the oceans.

If the dam represents the trade - off between China's heavy energy needs and the health of local communities, Yu Xiaogang (于晓刚) represents China's hope for a sustainable balance.

We should all look to Germany on this point: with progressive forest investment programs and balanced promotion of alternative energy, the country is living the green revolution the way we all hope it will be: with local products, locally and sustainably produced.

Project «EnspireME» as it will be known, will allow the local community to optimise its growing use of wind and solar energy by supplying the reserve power capacity needed to balance the grid.

Although more efficient or higher energy star rating houses may experience less absolute changes in energy requirement due to changing climate, they appear to have greater percentage changes in H / C energy demand, especially in regions with a H / C balanced temperate climate such as in Sydney where the increase is projected to be up to 120 % and 530 % for high star rating houses when the global temperature increases 2 °C and 5 °C respectively, potentially posing significant pressures on the capacity of local energy supply

In order to support the balancing of the local energy system, customers are engaged to become flexible «prosumers», by producing energy through PV + battery systems.
