Surface Temperature Response to Solar EMR at Top of the Atmosphere
It has been demonstrated that land and ocean surface temperature are highly correlated to solar EMR in mid and higher latitudes; making due allowance for different thermal inertia of land…
2001-2019 Warming Driven By Increases In Absorbed Solar Radiation, Not Human Emissions
Three new studies affirm the increase in absorbed solar radiation associated with decreased reflection by clouds (albedo) has been the “root cause” of the positive Earth Energy Imbalance and global…
