I got to thinking about the exponential decay function that I had used to calculate the lag in warming and cooling. When the incoming radiation increases or decreases, it takes a while for the earth to warm up or to cool down. In my calculations shown in my previous post, this lag was represented by a gradual exponenti... | 0_0 |
It is hard to fathom why some of the redacted information, which would reveal nothing sensitive about government policymaking, was withheld.
