cur prev 16:1416:14, 17 June 2024 Efbrazil talk contribs 79,586 bytes +6 →Definition and terminology: I don't think it's accurate to say the planck response is "how" objects emit more radiation as they warm. Rather, it simply states that they do so and how much they do so. Tweaked wording to reflect that. undo
cur prev 12:3812:38, 17 June 2024 EMsmile talk contribs 79,580 bytes +54 I've broken a long sentence that was listing 4 feedbacks into 2 sentences so that it's easier to understand. Also added "albedo" in brackets as I think it's a term that many have heard of (but don't feel strongly if others think albedo should not be mentioned here). undo Tags: Reverted Visual edit

I doubt this will make sense to readers who have not read the talk page, and it doesn't make sense to feature this early in the article. Either place a shorter version in the Planck section itself, or omit it entirely. undo Tag: Undo

More important: Shouldn't the very first sentence be broadened to refer not only to GHG emissions, but also to global warming itself? undo

13 June 2024

cur prev 22:3622:36, 13 June 2024 Efbrazil talk contribs 79,294 bytes +169 Reworked the first paragraph. The definitional sentence now speaks in terms of GGE instead of forcings to avoid jargon, plus it now avoids redundancy with the second sentence. The second sentence is unchanged. The third sentence is new and covers what feedbacks influence. The last sentence now defines forcings and climate sensitivity. undo

cur prev 19:0219:02, 10 June 2024 Efbrazil talk contribs 78,856 bytes −434 Last 3 paragraphs of lead are now planck response, physical / biological feedbacks, then modeling. I called out planck response to better reflect femke's viewpoint that Planck response is special (it's much larger and happens without atmosphere). This also lets us group content on net feedbacks, including the runaway greenhouse effect sentence. I also condensed some content on uncertainty. undo

cur prev 18:2818:28, 29 May 2024 Efbrazil talk contribs 74,838 bytes +100 Tweaks to the last paragraph of the lead. Tried to make it clear that climate change is fundamentally understood, not that feedbacks are a huge question mark. The connection between feedback uncertainty and policy was not drawn so I cut that issue (it's valid to raise the issue, but draw the connection). Removed one "for instance" for readability. Finally, I think it's important to qualify permafrost thaw as just one small aspect of uncertainty in the carbon cycle, so I put it in that context. undo
