As the CO3 — concentration is maintained close to the earlier level even more carbon goes into HCO3 - ions based
on the equilibrium conditions of (2).
The calculations I have seen that might «constrain» the size of this effecct are based
on equilibrium conditions, which I think are unlikely to be very accurate when applied to a system in which each surface region warms and cools every day, and which has rainstorms over large regions, and which never achieves equilibrium.

For instance, for Canada and the U.S., we believe that the
equilibrium interest rate in these
conditions is
on the order of 3 per cent, like a range of 2.5 per cent to 3.5 per cent, so much lower than what we used to think of as a normal, steady, straight interest rate.
Inside the cell
on board Mir,
conditions were changing so fast that they left
equilibrium behind.
These cells can be isolated based
on the expression of an amplified Hex Venus transgene and SSEA - 1 (V+S +) and exist under ES cell
conditions in a steady - state
equilibrium with at least one other more ICM - like cell state, V − S +.
(Note that this is supposed to concern the effect of adding (more) CO2 to a preexisting
equilibrium condition, so the effect of the non-CO2 absorber (with spectral overlap with CO2 within the layer)
on temperature is not the issue.
If so, at least over the temperature and climatological
conditions we are now facing, working this out quantitatively would stand «transient /
equilibrium responses» or «fast / slow feedbacks» ruminations
on their head.
Miskolczi instead claims he has shown that the discontinuity is the result of ignoring the lower boundary
condition, and in fact the ground is
on average in thermal radiative
equilibrium with the air in contact with it.
As the system approaches
equilibrium, entropy would become constant at the steady state value for the
condition of the system., which would be maximum entropy or minimum depending
on your point of view.
There are no strict controls and the earth continues
on its new trajectory, which is not an
equilibrium condition and has no way to get back to its original state.
The section where Gibbs discusses this problem is titled, «The
Conditions of
Equilibrium for Heterogeneous Masses under the Influence of Gravity,» with the most relevant discussion given
on pages 144 and 145.
The
conditions for mechanical
equilibrium doesn't depend
on whether the gases are ideal or not, although for an ideal gas, the density depends
on the temperature so that there are an infinite number of ways one can stack up the gas with a thermal gradient that are all still in mechanical
equilibrium.
Robert Brown: «Bear in mind that IMO it is borderline silly to do stat mech
on an atmosphere in the first place — it is only useful to answer «formal» questions like those addressed in Velasco like «what is true thermal
equilibrium given thus and such
conditions» and even there the computations are enormously difficult and require a variety of basically inconsistent or non-ergodic assumptions to be made.»
Radiative Transfer Physics does not depend entirely
on the simple absorbtivity of CO2, which by the way is effectively permanent in air when added by burning fossil fuels, compared to water which saturates and precipitates out depending
on climate
conditions, such as warming due the GHE, as a marginal shift in the dynamic
equilibrium through feedbacks.
«The Earth's climate system is highly nonlinear: inputs and outputs are not proportional, change is often episodic and abrupt, rather than slow and gradual, and multiple
equilibria are the norm... there is a relatively poor understanding of the different types of nonlinearities, how they manifest under various
conditions, and whether they reflect a climate system driven by astronomical forcings, by internal feedbacks, or by a combination of both... [We] suggest a robust alternative to prediction that is based
on using integrated assessments within the framework of vulnerability studies... It is imperative that the Earth's climate system research community embraces this nonlinear paradigm if we are to move forward in the assessment of the human influence
on climate.»
But it demonstrates how changed
equilibrium conditions could have had the observed recent effect
on atmospheric CO2 concentration whether or not there was a change in temperature and whether or not the anthropogenic CO2 emission existed.
Re 416 Bernd Herd — in climate science, for global climate change, specifically a global (average surface) temperature change in response to a global (typically average net tropopause - level after stratospheric adjustment) radiative forcing (or other heat source — although
on Earth those tend not to be so big), where the radiative forcing may be in units of W / m ^ 2, so that
equilibrium climate sensitivity is in K * m ^ 2 / W (it is often expressed as K / doubling CO2 as doubling CO2 has a certain amount of radiative forcing for given
conditions).
