CO2 in our atmosphere is a very serious problem that many people often forget about and call 'unimportant' when compared with other serious problems. In reality, the CO2 PPM in our atmosphere is a scary & dangerous threat, which is why I created this Insight to explain it.

The modle basically describes the cycle of CO2 into and out of the atmosphere.

A very simple thermodynamic model of a planet, based on first order approximations of its (black body) radiation balance.

NOT YET FUNCTIONAL

This is a simple energy balance model of radiation through the atmosphere. It's a simple single layer model.

A very simple thermodynamic model of a planet, which includes first order approximations of its radiation balance (black bodies), including two radiations modulating effects i.e. albedo and green house and uses two heat storages (ocean and atmosphere). It is a lumped model which does not consider spatial variations thus e.g. no heat exchange between equatorial and polar regions (lateral).

A very simple thermodynamic model of a planet, based on first order approximations of its (black bodies) radiation balance, and includes two radiation modulating effects i.e. albedo and green house as well as two heat stores (ocean and atmosphere). It is a lumped model which does not consider spatial variations and resulting mass transports - thus no heat exchange between e.g. equatorial and polar regions. As a consequence all values are surface specific i.e. per square meter. The radiation balance is in  W/m² and the heat reservoirs are in J/m² i.e. water and air columns with a cross section of 1 m².
