Actually, I kind of disagree with the article, as I see its message can also be misconstrued as a delay tactic (especially the claim that the imbalance is only 0.3%, a similar claim was used with CO2 to misrepresent the magnitude of the problem).
Yes, experts who study Earth as a system should worry about energy imbalance. But the general public should worry mostly about CO2 (and to a lesser extent, methane).
- AstralStorm 5y agoEnergy balance is something to worry about on scale of few thousand years, when we start running out of fissible materials and fusion never arrives. Global warming and greenhouse gasses, less than 50 years. If we don't fix it, we get no food, less water, mass migrations (possibly with war) up to extinction events. Problem is solar heat being trapped, not running out of energy sources.
