Earth's balanced climates in view of their energy budgets

Earth’s well-known energy budget scheme is subjected to variations representing changes of insolation and atmospheric absorption. The Charney Report variability cases of doubled atmospheric CO 2 concentration and insolation increase by 2 % are found reproducible. The planetary emissivity is revealed linear to surface temperature, conformant with measurements. Atmospheric water vapor with its characteristic concentration-temperature dependency appears as a major component in Earth’s energy balancing mechanisms. From this, shift towards fewer and stronger rainfall events is prescribed for rising temperatures.
