How global warming is being caused by a record-high “energy imbalance”
CarbonBrief: The planet is heating up more quickly than ever before.
For decades, greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity have been building up in the atmosphere and trapping ever-higher levels of heat.
The resulting asymmetry between incoming solar energy and energy radiated back out into space – known as “Earth’s energy imbalance” – provides a direct measure of the extent to which humans are disrupting the Earth’s climate system.
Chinese: 地球升温的速度比以往任何时候都快。
几十年来，人类活动造成的温室气体排放不断在大气层中积聚，导致越来越多的热量滞留在大气层中。
由此产生的入射太阳能与辐射回太空的能量之间的不对称——即所谓的“地球能量失衡”——可以直接衡量人类活动对地球气候系统造成的破坏程度。
