So let's get this straight. The best climate models predict all sorts of things about how CO2 should affect the climate, but you have zero'ed in on only on, the tropical atmosphere at 10km, and unless you see what the models predict for that spot, you don't believe anything else about the models? Is that it in a nutshell?

Yes the supposition the atmospheric greenhouse effect however reduces radiation loss is what it's all about.

Nonsense. The net radiation loss is identical for very obvious reasons. The spectrum is different, hence the temperature is different. The total radiation cannot be either reduced or increased. You are one confused dufus.
