Eric and Raymond,
The thrust of my argument is not that the MSU results were or are
correct. It is that the climate models are wrong. But I do argue that
the radiosondes are correct. No models were used to get their
readings.
I should add here that it is the radiation scheme where the fault
lies, but it has severe consequences for the whole global warming
paradigm. At present it is based on the TOA balance being achieved by
the OLR adjusting. The OLR is pretty well saturated and cannot
change. The system is balanced at the TOA by changes in albedo which
alters the net ISR. This is a simple idea, but has not really been
considered because it was thought that the current paradigm worked.
It does not, but like all paradigms it is being stoutly defended by
its current practitioners.
This means that global warming does not operate by more CO2 increasing
back radiation. It happens because the terrestrial radiation is
absorbed by the CO2 closer to the surface. There is no increase in the
energy absorbed, but it drives the snow line to higher altitudes and
latitudes. It is this consequent change in albedo that causes the
planet to warm.
But no-one will even consider whether I could be correct, so it is
pointless expanding on my ideas further here, or even in trying to get
a paper published.
Cheers, Alastair.
