Abstract
Simple energy balance considerations and historic temperature data indicate that there are rather sharply defined upper limits to which air temperature may rise above the tropical oceans and expansive well-watered terrestrial surfaces Measurements of full-spectrum and 10.5–12.5 μm thermal radiation from the cloudless atmosphere indicate that an analogous temperature limit also exists for other land areas of the globe, thereby greatly restricting the magnitude of climatic change that may occur as a result of the greenhouse effects of increasing concentrations of atmospheric water vapor and carbon dioxide.
