Therefore, estimating equilibrium climate sensitivity based on measurements of a climate that's
out of equilibrium requires making some significant assumptions, for example that feedbacks will remain constant over time.
I do understand that the solar energy - in dictates the earthly energy -
out at
equilibrium at the balance point at the Top
Of Atmosphere (~ 10,000 m) and that unless the solar - in changes then the law of conservation of energy requires that the Stefan - Boltzman derived 255 K temperature at equilibrium at this balance point can not chang

It gets tricky now because the
equilibrium climate sensitivity
requires a timescale to be defined — barring large hysteresis, it isn't so large going
out many millions
of years (weathering feedback); there will be a time scale
of maximum sensitivity.
