Question:

Climate scientists use the Stefan–Boltzmann Law R = σT4 to estimate the change in the earth’s average temperature T (in kelvins) caused by a change in the radiation R (in joules per square meter per second) that the earth receives from the sun. Here, σ = 5.67 × 10−8 Js−1m−2K−4. Calculate dR/dt, assuming that T = 283 and dT/dt = 0.05 K/year. What are the units of dR/dt?
