Dude. You're the one that dropped that alphabet equation on us. Explain it. Otherwise you risk looking like a poseur.

Dude, I did explain with my question.

Do you know what is the radiative forcing.

I think you mean radiative forcing.

Unless I'm mistaken (which there is usually a scientific consensus that I am)... I believe you mean radiative forcing.

ETA.

Yes. That is what happens when you type "Radiative" and click the first option.

DT,

Please explain what each symbol in the equation means, and how it relates to your point.

C is CO2 in ppm

Co = 278 ppm

ln = learn it in 8th grade math.

Radiative forcing is the difference between the sunlight absorbed by the Earth and energy radiated back to space. Radiative forcing is used to compare man-made and natural drivers of climate change . Can you tell me what is ln?
