Climate Sensitivity Explained
Understanding climate sensitivity hinges on the Stefan-Boltzmann law, which reveals how energy radiated from Earth increases dramatically with temperature—specifically to the power of four. A simple calculation estimates that for every additional watt per meter squared of radiative forcing, the temperature rises by approximately 0.25 kelvin. However, this estimate is just a starting point and requires further refinement by considering additional factors influencing Earth's energy balance.In this clip
