ie Mother Nature (physics) has a perfect feedback mechanism that
maintains energy equilibrium instantaneously regardless of how we mess up the atmosphere.
Not exact matches
Suns and stars
maintain a range of temperatures strictly due to a
equilibrium between the outward pressure of the
energy from nuclear fusion and the inward pressure of gravity.
You see, your body likes to be in a state of constant
equilibrium - that's what hunger is for - to remind you to eat so you can
maintain a steady
energy state.
The vast majority of the
energy your body needs to
maintain the systemic
equilibrium comes from environmental infrared light exposure
According to Wunsch, as little as one - third of the
energy your body requires for
maintaining the thermal
equilibrium comes from the food you eat.
In
equilibrium to
maintain the
energy balance of the earth you must have just as much long wave radiation passing through (and warming) the top layer as before.
This simple radiative example (convective transport is not being allowed) shows that any finite surface temperature Ts can be supported in radiative
equilibrium with any arbitrarily cold «upper atmosphere» temperature Tt, by prescribing the appropriate LW opacity TAU for the atmospheric layer, with the
energy required to
maintain a fixed Ts adjusted accordingly.
When above the
equilibrium level BNO (S) will require additional surface
energy to
maintain the global temperature and will require to store
energy away when temperature is below the
equilibrium level.
For those who want to check out the physics, read up the statistical thermodynamics which leads to Kirchhoff; s law of radiation and realise that «Prevost exchange
energy» is needed to connect the IR density of states in the two objects in radiative
equilibrium and
maintain absorptivity = emissivity.
In isothermal
equilibrium, the system is in perfect force balance, there is no net dynamical transport of mass up or down, no net change whatsoever of gravitational potential
energy — but heat conduction still functions to
maintain equal temperature and restore
equilibrium after a perturbation.
If the atmosphere is in complete thermodynamic
equilibrium, then this means that any «infrared
energy» which is absorbed by an «air parcel» is immediately redistributed throughout the atmosphere, to
maintain thermodynamic
equilibrium.
If it can not warm the oceans and yet the radiative balance between solar
energy in and radiative
energy out has to be
maintained then all that is left is for it to be ejected faster to space in order to
maintain the radiative balance and if that happens then no change in the
equilibrium temperature of the Earth can occur.
The twin consequences of this are a) the hotter body cools more slowly; and b) if the hotter body was at a dynamical
equilibrium temperature that was
maintained relative to the colder body by some constant input of heat, interpolating the absorber layer will force its temperature higher so that it can
maintain the same rate of
energy loss and remain in dynamical
equilibrium.
The system is not in
equilibrium (since there is a net flow of
energy outwards of 235 W / m ^ 2), and that state is
maintained only by the internal nuclear decay, supplying the
energy that is being lost to space.
Those like you, Basil, who call upon the authority of journals and persons in the climatology field (who obviously, like yourself, demonstrate a serious lack of understanding of such matters as thermodynamic
equilibrium, entropy and unbalanced
energy potentials) epitomise the process whereby the greatest hoax of all time has been, and continues to be promulgated by those with personal pecuniary interests in
maintaining the status quo.
Only if the oceans freeze across their entire surfaces thereby causing the hydrological cycle to cease or if the sun puts in
energy faster than it can be pumped upward by the hydrological cycle will the basic temperature
equilibrium derived from the properties of water and the density and pressure of the atmosphere fail to be
maintained.
Warm air can not significantly affect the oceans due to the huge difference in thermal capacities and by the effect of evaporation which removes unwanted
energy to latent form as necessary to
maintain the said
equilibrium.
A photon, better just a certain amount of
energy, that just jumps around in the atmosphere does absolutely but to
maintain equilibrium, radiative, temperature, pressure and density.
Even if we could create
energy at will, at some point it becomes impossible to radiate enough of it away from the planet to
maintain equilibrium:

But, it can warm the air close to the ground, if the air is cooler, and does do that if that very
energy just bounces around locally in the air
maintaining equilibrium and equipartition, and this is what normally happens (really it is thermalization and re-emission from the GHGs), in your room, on your patio, in a field, on the ocean, its just it can never raise the temperature greater than the local surface itself is.
