"how do you know this isn't equilibrium?" Transient equilibrium is 30-40 years as oceans equilibrate; long term is in the 1000's. as the ice caps melt. What Would Happen To The Climate If We Stopped Emitting Greenhouse Gases Today? If we stop emitting today, it’s not the end of the story for global warming. There’s a delay in temperature increase as the climate catches up with all the carbon that’s in the atmosphere. After maybe 40 more years, the climate will stabilize at a temperature higher than what was normal for previous generations. This decades-long lag between cause and effect is due to the long time it takes to heat the the ocean’s huge mass. The energy that is held at the Earth by the increased carbon dioxide does more than heat the air. It melts ice; it heats the ocean. Compared to air, it’s harder to raise the temperature of water – it takes time, decades. However, once the ocean temperature is elevated, it adds to the warming of the Earth’s surface iflscience.com "You guys just assume so much stuff that is not supported by scientific fact.
