Given that Earth has been warmer than today many times during its history, why are we so concerned about the warming we are experiencing now, since the beginning of the industrial revolution?
Recall that Earth’s observed surface temperature is warmer than its predicted radiative equilibrium value. Let’s use this information, along with the average cooling rate of the atmosphere with height, to figure out from what height above the surface most of Earth’s radiation is able to escape to space.
