climate sensitivity), the impact on hurricanes, the particular effects in particular places (what global

It is to be noted here that there is no necessary contradiction between forecast expectations of (a) some renewed (or continuation of) slight cooling of world
climate for a few decades to

climate response, which is generally stratospheric cooling and surface and tropospheric
warming for increasing greenhouse gases) decrease the radiation to space in the central portion of the band because at those wavelengths, CO2 is so opaque that much or most radiation to space is
coming from the stratosphere, and adding CO2 increases the heights
from which radiation is able to reach space, and the stratospheric temperatures generally increase with increasing height.

Once such an IPCC exposition of the assumptions, complications and uncertainties of
climate models was constructed and made public, it would immediately have to lead, in my view, to more questions
from the informed public such as what does calculating a mean global temperature change mean to individuals who have to deal with local conditions and not a global average and what are the assumptions, complications and uncertainties that the models contain when it
comes to determining the detrimental and beneficial effects of a «global»
