In this paper we show the existence of a continuous and unbounded connected S-shaped set {(Q, u)} where Q is the solar constant and u satisfies a quasilinear eventually multivalued stationary equation on a Riemannian manifold without boundary arising as a stationary energy balance model for the earth surface temperature.
