Why must a solar forcing be larger than a CO2 forcing to cause the same global mean surface temperature change?
Many previous studies have shown that a solar forcing must be greater than a CO _2 forcing to cause the same global mean surface temperature change but a process-based mechanistic explanation is lacking in the literature. In this study, we investigate the physical mechanisms responsible for the lowe...
