Ideally, the global energy budget would be in balance where 100% of the energy coming in to the planet would also leave the planet as longwave radiation. energy leaving the planet can be seen in the 70% radiated as longwave/heat transfer and 30% as reflected or scattered shortwave. if we increased the albedo of the earth’s surface by 3%, what amount of shortwave energy (in w/m2) would be absorbed by the earth?

a.150.5
b.160.7
c.110.0
d.342.0
