We get energy from the sun, but heats up us here on Earth. In equilibrium, we give back the same amount of energy to the rest of the world. We get primarily visible light from the sun and we radiate back primarily in for red light to the Earth. If you want quantitative relationships between different contributors to global warming, you've come to the wrong place.
Welcome to the October 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
