  5. All the Factors (and other Fs) Radiative forcing Effective radiative forcing Forcings Feedback 6

  6. Radiative Forcing (RF) RF = Change of net downward energy to Earth If the system is in balance, the radiative forcing would be zero. Effective radiative forcing Realistic RF with feedbacks NASA 7

  7. Forcings: Factors impacting radiative forcing IPCC, 2014 8

  8. Feedbacks Feedback agents response to the forcing and may intensify the radiative forcing - Water vapor - Ice-albedo - Clouds - Biogeochemical 9

  9. Water Vapor It is a stronger “greenhouse gas” than CO2 However, the vapor amount is not directly controlled by human, so it’s a feedback agent and not a forcing Can multiply the warming by 2-3 times greater IPCC, 2014 10
