Short summary
We explored a simplified climate model based on Earth's energy budget. One advantage of such models is that they are easier to study mathematically. Using a mathematical technique known as boundary integral methods, we present a new way to solve these climate models. This method is particularly useful for modeling climates very different from Earth's current state, such as those on other planets or during past ice ages.
