Planck feedback λ_P = 4σT_e³ ≈ 3.2 W/(m²·K)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the climate-physics subtree

The Planck feedback (sometimes 'blackbody feedback') is the intrinsic thermodynamic temperature-dependence of outgoing longwave radiation through the Stefan-Boltzmann law: OLR = σT_e⁴, so λ_P = dOLR/dT = 4σT_e³. For Earth's T_e ≈ 254.8 K…
