Greenhouse gases like CO₂ trap the outgoing thermal radiation from the surface that cools the Earth, and only allow that radiation to be emitted to space and cool the climate system from an atmospheric altitude of about 12 km in the IR regions (wavelength bands) where CO2 absorbs. Describe ALL the changes that occur in the climate system what happens after we increase CO₂ in the atmosphere. Assume that a radiative balance (EIN = EOUT) is reached. Select all the correct answers. the increased radiation from the warmer surface balances the reduced radiation from the CO2 bands the Earth's radiation emitted in the CO2 bands (at a higher, colder altitude) decreases the altitude where CO2 can emit radiation to space decreases to 6 km

Question
Greenhouse gases like CO2 trap the outgoing thermal radiation from the surface that cools the Earth, and only allow that radiation to be emitted to space and cool the climate system from an atmospheric altitude of about 12 km in the IR regions (wavelength bands) where CO2 absorbs. Describe ALL the changes that occur in the climate system what happens after we increase CO, in the atmosphere. Assume that a radiative balance (EIN = EOUT) is reached. Select all the correct %3D answers. V the increased radiation from the warmer surface balances the reduced radiation from the CO2 bands V the Earth's radiation emitted in the CO2 bands (at a higher, colder altitude) decreases the altitude where CO2 can emit radiation to space decreases to 6 km V the total CO2 opacity of the atmosphere increases O the climate system, including both atmosphere and surface, warms
