I would have thought then he would have also considered that the driver of heat transfer is temperature difference and that heat flux can only go in one direction (if there is no work input as with air conditioning) ie from high temperature to low temperature. If gases in the stratosphere or higher are at lower temperature that the surface then there can be no heat flux back to the surface. On the other hand radiation can occur to space. Near the surface the atmosphere is heated by convection. Anyone who has been gliding can see and feel the rising currents over the bitumen airstrip and roads. The pseudo-climate scientist have no knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and mass transfer. They use jargon just as forcing when in fact they have no understanding of the technology. Hansen and Trenberth are two example of spin because of lack of knowledge.cementafriendhttp://benkeng.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
