Where is a published thermodynamic model for climate change with boundary conditions and equations?

Owen asked:


Hearing about climate change predictions is unavoidable, but after about 3 hours of looking on the internet, I haven’t been able to find a published model. Presumably, this would be a 1st law, controlled volume model, which addresses emmissivity, absorptivity, their relationship to greenhouse gases, and the methodology of measuring current mean earth temperature as well as future temperature change. Any published model would be nice though. For all the people talking about these models, I’d think someone would have published it somewhere obvious.

Any help is appreciated.

What are the odds of the us successfully combating climate change?

Fang asked:


For the record, I believe in AGW.
I have no faith that humanity will be able to combat it because of who we actually are.

Have there been any studies on the odds of actually succeeding in combating climate change?
Are people wanting me to throw all my money on a horse that’s likely to finish in last place?
Well, at least one guy with multiple profiles answered this one twice, possibly three times.
