Long-lived climate forcers refer to a set of well-mixed greenhouse gases with long atmospheric lifetimes. This set of compounds includes carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O), together with some fluorinated gases. They have a warming effect on climate. These compounds accumulate in the atmosphere at decadal to centennial time scales, and their effect on climate hence persists for decades to centuries after their emission. 2, record 4, English, - long%2Dlived%20climate%20forcer

Positive radiative forcing means Earth receives more incoming energy from sunlight than it radiates to space. This net gain of energy will cause warming. Conversely, negative radiative forcing means that Earth loses more energy to space than it receives from the sun, which produces cooling. A system in thermal equilibrium has zero radiative forcing. 1, record 10, English, - negative%20radiative%20forcing

La Terre reçoit de l'énergie sous forme de chaleur [par] les rayons du soleil. Certains facteurs, typiquement les gaz à effet de serre, ont tendance à absorber les infrarouges. Ainsi, plus ils sont présents dans l'atmosphère, plus on assiste à un réchauffement du climat. Le forçage radiatif des gaz à effet de serre est donc positif. En revanche, les aérosols ont tendance à renvoyer les rayons solaires vers leur émetteur, ce qui provoque un refroidissement de la Terre. Dans ce cas, le forçage radiatif est négatif. 4, record 10, French, - for%C3%A7age%20radiatif%20n%C3%A9gatif

We created a reduced-form climate model that is based upon a series of previously conducted transient atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) simulations. For the model, we constructed a set of multiple regression transformation equations that relate the time history of radiative forcing to future transient climate change. These transformation equations were derived for a global grid and enable us to estimate future transient climate for a number of variables and for a wide range of CO2 and aerosol emission scenarios. 3, record 14, English, - transient%20climate%20change
