Where is a published thermodynamic model for climate change with boundary conditions and equations?
Shared by Alleen: Hearing about climate change predictions is unavoidable, but after about 3 hours of looking on the internet, I haven’t been able to find a published model. Presumably, this would be a 1st law, controlled volume model, which addresses emmissivity, absorptivity, their relationship to greenhouse gases, and the methodology of measuring current mean [...]

Surely changes of climate will actually be beneficial to some species or environments? I am prepared to accept that climate balance may be changing but I think the media is biased towards saying it is entirely terrible and [...]
