CO2/warming correlation - how to respond?

Did not know the word for this measurement.

Albedo is Latin for "whiteness" (no surprise it is related to word Albino).

Knew ALBEDO from University since I studied "Electromagnetic Techniques of Remote Sensing"

Agree. To this concern I would like to point out an important aspect of the GHE that is not so much considered.
Because of the GHE the Earth warms and the snow and ice, reflecting the light, melt.
This means that the reflectivity (ALBEDO) of the Earth decreases and less energy is reflected as light and more energy is absorbed from the Earth and reflected as Infrared rays.
This is a feedback loop making increase the ENERGY IMBALANCE, 90% of which is absorbed by the Oceans, caused by the Green House Effect.
So not only we have to lower GHGs emissions but we must also get out of this evil feedback loop making increase the energy imbalance caused by the GHE.
It's an HARD WORK!

As I said in the quoted post, since more energy is absorbed by the Earth because the ALBEDO decreases, the ENERGY IMBALANCE of the Earth increases as it's shown in the reported graph.

And this increasing ENERGY IMBALANCE is the reason why we have Global Warming with all the drawbacks that we know connected with it.

The ALBEDO is defined as the percentage of solar radiation that is reflected by the Earth.
