Atmospheric gases allow sunshine to pass through but absorb heat that is radiated back from the surface of the earth. This acts as a blanket keeping heat.

Forcing the Climate

Climate Forcing Radiative Forcing Non-Radiative Forcing Change in the Earth’s energy balance.

Radiative forcing 1.Greenhouse gas radiative forcing 2.Cloud radiative forcing 3.Aerosol radiative forcing 4.Solar radiative forcing 5.Other radiative forcing a. Albedo b. Heat

Non-radiative forcing 1.Ocean circulation 2.Atmospheric circulation 3.Orographic lift

Climate sensitivity It is a simple measure of the response of the climate system to a given climate forcing.

Linear versus Non lenear
