Earths Energy Balance The role of the Sun and atmosphere in establishing Earths surface temperature

Energy Flow To solve a crime you follow the money; to understand many environmental problems, follow the energy. Energy changes form but the total amount is always conserved. Energy changes form but the total amount is always conserved. Energy eventually degrades into heat. Energy eventually degrades into heat. A place reaches a higher temperature when energy spends more time therebut just as much energy is always emitted as is absorbed. A place reaches a higher temperature when energy spends more time therebut just as much energy is always emitted as is absorbed.

In Maunder Minimum (shortly after Galileo) Sun was less active and Earth was cooler. In Maunder Minimum (shortly after Galileo) Sun was less active and Earth was cooler.

Solar Variations and Climate Most climatologists models conclude solar variations alone cannot explain current amount of warming.
