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

It is a measure of the consequence of planetary energy imbalance, not the fate of CO2 molecules.

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.

The stratospheric emission must be in a limited wavelength band to get cooling and still satisfy planetary energy balance.

The resulting planetary energy imbalance, absorbed solar energy exceeding heat emitted to space, causes Earth to warm.

Do there exist, in other words, certain planetary energies which, overcoming the forces of repulsion that seem to be incurably opposed to human harmony, are tending inexorably to bring together and organize upon itself (unbelievable though this may seem) the terrifying multitude of milliards of thinking consciousnesses which forms the «reflective layer» of the earth?

This net loss / gain of planetary energy during El Niño / La Niña is ishown in figure 3 for the tropics (a) and the global situation (b).

As mentioned in the introduction, the satellites which measure incoming and outgoing radiation at the top of Earth's atmosphere (TOA) can not measure the small planetary energy imbalance brought about by global warming.

But I would have thought rather direct indications of an increase in net planetary energy like rapid loss of Arctic sea ice should be enough to convince anyone that there has been no «slowdown».

You should go back and read Planetary Energy Imbalance at RC.

It means that, for every W m $ ^ -LCB--2 -RCB- $ of excess energy we put into our system, our model predicts that the surface temperature must increase by $ -1 / \ lambda = 0.3 $ K in order to re-establish planetary energy balance.

A great primer in Physics Today on planetary energy balance from our very own Ray Pierrehumbert (link to pdf available here).

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.

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.

However even the moderate scenarios which have eventual stabilisation give more warming than 0.8 C. Even in the extremely unlikely event that there is no further growth in emissions, the current planetary energy imbalance (estimated to be almost 1W / m2)(due to the ocean thermal inertia) implies that there is around 0.5 C extra warming already in the pipeline that will be realised over the next 20 to 30 years.

It has been shown that the dominant climate forcing, CO2, must be reduced to no more than 350 ppm to restore planetary energy balance (Hansen et al., 2008) and keep climate near the Holocene level, if other forcings remain unchanged.
