Both in terms of theory and practice the stratosphere should cool as a
result of higher greenhouse gas concentrations. The satelittes are
correct
here but the trend of lower temperatures should be lower than
indicated by
Scotty and folks.
Perhaps 2000-2100 will be the "madhouse century" that the Hadley
Institute
is predicting based on the largest computer in the world. It has
recently
predicted a global temperature rise of 6 degrees celsius.
John, did your write the above? It is my understanding that the IPCC
and the computer models predict cooling in the stratosphere. Also,
the satellites seem to be pretty damned accurate when you compare them
to weather balloon data...or is that data bad too?
