The figure consists of two time-series plots (2000–2024) showing annual fluctuations in radiative fluxes (W/m²). Top panel: Three lines represent net radiation (black), longwave radiation (LW, orange), and shortwave radiation (SW, teal). Bottom panel: Three lines compare all-sky radiation (black), clear-sky radiation (green), and cloud radiative effect (CRE, purple). The data show annual cycles and a long-term trend.

Why is Earth’s Energy Imbalance Growing?

Satellite measurements show that energy has been accumulating in the climate system at an increasing rate in recent years. At a workshop organized by…
