Problem 55P
Suppose that the concentration of infrared-absorbing gases in earth’s atmosphere were to double, effectively creating a second “blanket” to warm the surface. Estimate the equilibrium surface temperature of the earth that would result from this catastrophe. (Hint: First show that the lower atmospheric blanket is warmer than the upper one by a factor of 21/4. The surface is warmer than the lower blanket by a smaller factor.)
