If the earth's average surface temperature were to increase, the amount of radiation emitted from the earth's surface would increase, as hotter objects emit more radiation. Additionally, the wavelength of peak emission would shift toward shorter wavelengths, in accordance with Wien's Law, which states that as the temperature of an object increases, the wavelength of peak emission decreases.
