The analyses we are talking about only concern TSI. But they don't show changes which would appear to be significant unless extended over the long term.
Also do you know Phage if the ones analyzing the data account for the fact that equal amounts of solar activity will continue to have a greater impact due to the ice melting and no longer being a reflecting agent, rather the water becomes an absorbtive agent?
Is there any study done on the amount of radiance being absorbed by Earth, as there are many factors that can influence this.

It's more a matter of technology and how to use it I think.
The utility of such information is pretty obvious.
Which "original equation" would that be? There are quite a few models out there but as far as the effects of ice on albedo not being considered...that doesn't seem to be exactly accurate.
I disagree there. When the polar ice melts the light that was being reflected is now being absorbed. This was never factored into the original equation.
