If you posts are examples the define roughly speaking then it is clear the meaning of roughly speaking is meaningless.

your current definition of a state of approximate equilibrium has winds from 0 to 140 plus and temperatures from less than -50F and over 150F, at times within the same nanosecond.

In three out of the four above, very little is alive for long.

As to the effects of the atmosphere, At locations where we humans live the Earth does not heat as much and does not cool as much in a day of Earth rotation or a year of orbit around the sun.

The atmosphere moderates heating and cooling to smaller ranges at most latitudes that humans have adapted too surviving in.

FACT H20 in the atmosphere is over 99.9 percent that of CO2 in quantity times energy of resonant blackbody radiation.

The delay and sometimes the blocking in cooling and heating of the Earth is dominated by h20 as a solid a liquid or a vapor.
And measure of the particular quantification of effects of H20 in delay and sometimes the blocking in cooling and heating of the Earth from moment to moment for averages is best described by chaos.

CO2 is a trace gas with no effect large enough to be measured.
