Radiative forcing (often called climate forcing or forcing) is positive if it adds energy to the climate system: greenhouse gases, dark aerosol particles, and vegetation produce positive radiative forcing. Radiative forcing is negative if it subtracts energy from the climate system: ice, snow, and light-colored aerosol particles produce negative radiative forcing. 3, record 1, English, - radiative%20climate%20forcing

En climatologie, on parle de forçage pour désigner les perturbations dans l'équilibre énergétique de la Terre, qui engendrent des changements de températures. Ces forçages sont fluctuants et pourtant déterminants dans l'évaluation et la prévision du réchauffement climatique. 5, record 1, French, - for%C3%A7age%20radiatif%20du%20climat

Natural or man-made alterations in the atmospheric composition which affect the radiative profile and, hence, the earth's temperature and climate are said to be "radiative climate forcing" or simply "forcing". The concept of radiative forcing should not be confused with that of climate change. The rate of climate change depends on much more than simply the rate of change of radiative forcing. Radiative forcing measures the temperature change at the earth's surface that would be observed for a given atmosphere, if there were no climate feedback effects such as increased concentrations of water vapor, changes in atmospheric chemistry reaction rates, cloud feedbacks, albedo changes (via for example, changes in the extent of snow cover or desertification); and no system lags such as through ocean thermal inertia. 4, record 2, English, - forcing

Les modèles climatiques sont à la fois plus simples et plus compliqués, plus simples car l'exactitude locale des résultats est moins importante, plus compliqués parce qu'ils doivent déterminer des effets à long terme correspondant à des forçages beaucoup plus faibles. 4, record 2, French, - for%C3%A7age
