Can someone confirm? Is the science behind this accurate? If true, this seems more meaningful than telling us CO2 levels...

  Yes, it's accurate. It's just repeating the same thing you've been told for decades, in different terms. It's a different calculation for the same temperature and radiation data they were already gathering. They haven't just been telling you the CO2 levels. They've also been telling you the temperature, which are around .5C/1F over the long-term average. Increasing temperature and increasing energy imbalance are one and the same thing. Trap more energy, get more temperature: it's the same Q=(delta T)mc you learned in high school chemistry. It's just that we know that increasing CO2 is the reason for it, and it's the thing we can do something about.
