The Planetary Habitability Index is based on «the presence of a stable substrate, available energy, appropriate chemistry, and the potential for holding a liquid solvent,» as the paper's abstract notes.

Slow feedbacks have little effect on the immediate planetary energy balance, instead coming into play in response to temperature change.

Yet we suggest that a pathway is still conceivable that could restore planetary energy balance on the century time scale.

Our evaluation of a fossil fuel emissions limit is not based on climate models but rather on observational evidence of global climate change as a function of global temperature and on the fact that climate stabilization requires long - term planetary energy balance.

We have a planetary climate crisis that requires urgent change to our energy and carbon pathway to avoid dangerous consequences for young people and other life on Earth.

Very recent, wide ranging review of temperature measurements in the oceans with a detailed discussion of the accuracy of the data, planetary energy balance and the effect of the warming on sea levels.

A vast number of scientists, engineers, and visionary businessmen are boldly designing a future that is based on low - impact energy pathways and living within safe planetary boundaries; a future in which substantial health gains can be achieved by eliminating fossil - fuel pollution; and a future in which we strive to hand over a liveable planet to posterity.

This summary, based on real - world data for temperature, planetary energy balance, and GHG changes, differs from a common optimistic perception of progress toward stabilizing climate.

Another point is that total cloud variation is a rather useless constraint on the TOA energy perturbation, since clouds act on both sides of the planetary energy budget.

No support for the assertions @ 104 are provided by the SkS post which contrary-wise argues that a planetary energy imbalance (and the resulting ΔOHC) can occur when SAT remains flat on decadal timescales.

As Andy heads abroad for a conference on «planetary emergencies», I'll be bringing you occasional updates from the consumptive heart of the nation's desert West, Las Vegas, where clean energy prophets and political luminaries are gathered to discuss how the imperatives of climate change, fossil fuel scarcity and national security ought to reshape our energy future.

The article on «Planetary Energy Balance» would in paticular be a good place to start.

The general argument however is being discussed by rasmus in the context of planetary energy balance: the impact of additional CO2 is to reduce the outgoing longwave radiation term and force the system to accumulate excess energy; the imbalance is currently on the order of 1.45 * (10 ^ 22) Joules / year over the globe, and the temperature must rise allowing the outgoing radiation term to increase until it once again matches the absorbed incoming stellar flux.

You typed: «Planets with a thin atmosphere and insignificant greenhouse effect, on the other hand, have a surface temperature that is close the the estimates from the planetary energy balance model (Figure 3).»

Planets with a thin atmosphere and insignificant greenhouse effect, on the other hand, have a surface temperature that is close the the estimates from the planetary energy balance model (Figure 3).»

The time scales involved remain miniscule on the level of an individual molecule BUT on a planetary scale they become highly significant and build up to a measurable delay between arrival of solar radiant energy and its release to space as outgoing radiation.

This is a consequence of conservation of energy (unless you don't think that applies on a planetary scale, which would be a radical idea).

Global carbon emissions are actually on the decline, renewable energy is dramatically on the rise, and we achieved a monumental international agreement in Paris last December that promises to help steer us onto a path that just may avert dangerous 2C planetary warming.

It is rapidly expanding energy use, mainly driven by fossil fuels, that explains why humanity is on the verge of breaching planetary sustainability boundaries through global warming, biodiversity loss, and disturbance of the nitrogen - cycle balance and other measures of the sustainability of the earth's ecosystem.

So, on those grounds, more GHGs could not affect equilibrium temperature because they provoke an equal and opposite system response to any effect they might have on the transfer of energy through the planetary system.

The identified atmospheric feedbacks including changes in planetary albedo, in water vapour distribution and in meridional latent heat transport are all poorly represented in zonal energy balance model as the one used in [7] whereas they appear to be of primary importance when focusing on ancient greenhouse climates.

The attempt to involve «fluorocarbons» and other superfluous «concepts» is based still in the misinterpretations of Energy prevalent within «greenhouse science» as still the Energy incident to the surface, persistently within the Visible and Lower UV spectrum, has NOT been observed to alter in any manner sufficiently significant to cause either «warming» or «cooling» in interaction with the materials actually present both within the atmosphere, or on the planetary surface.

Temperature has nothing to do with energy balances on the surface of a planetary body.

Slow feedbacks have little effect on the immediate planetary energy balance, instead coming into play in response to temperature change.

Yet we suggest that a pathway is still conceivable that could restore planetary energy balance on the century time scale.

Planets with atmospheres stabilise their surface temperatures at a level dependent upon the density of the atmosphere leaving the main variation in planetary temperature dependent on variations in the energy coming in from the local star.

We may interpret the hummingbird story as a message for us to reduce, reuse, recycle; to cut down on our car travel, switch to green energy for our homes, or eat less meat and more vegetables as our contribution to dousing the planetary fire.

On a planetary basis, we thus have a high - inertia, energy - conserving thermodynamic system.

Although existing analyses have quantified the links between social performance and biophysical indicators such as energy use32, greenhouse gas emissions33 and ecological footprint34, these analyses have not considered the implications of planetary boundaries on social outcomes.

The S - B Law applies to a planetary body in space without an atmosphere and relies on the planet reaching a thermal equilibrium whereby the amount of energy reaching the planet from the local star is matched by energy leaving that planet to space.

Also they must respect human rights and the rights of nature, protect the planetary systems on which continued human existence depends, put control over energy, food and water in the hand of accountable local stewards, fairly address overconsumption to meet basic needs for all, not just the greed of a wealthy few.

The effects of these energy sources on regional and planetary health are becoming increasingly evident through climate change, the most worrisome major global trend attributed to human activity.

However, six out of the 19 references in the paper are to Miskolczi himself and the fundamental equations brought up for energy balance (where radiative exchange is referenced) rely on his more lengthy 2007 paper, Greenhouse effect in semi-transparent planetary atmospheres.

In this way I've benefited from courses on global climate change, climatology, future energy supply and demand, the physics of the greenhouse effect and planetary radiation balance, and climate politics and policy options.

The planetary boundaries advocates, consist with their hierarchical values framework, call for «universal clean energy» and recommend development targets focused not on measuring expanded energy access, but rather carbon dioxide emissions (here in PDF).
