A disturbance to the earth's energy balance. 6, record 1, English, - radiative%20climate%20forcing
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
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
