> Notice also that this debunks the 'Earth warming is due to increased solar output' claim, because if that was true, increased solar radiation inputs would result in a warming of the stratosphere, not a cooling. This is not necessarily true, if increased radiation hitting the water raised the temperature and caused release of dissolved carbon dioxide you'd see the stratospheric cooling effect no matter where that carbon dioxide came from. To be clear I'm not saying that global warming due to man made co2 isn't real. I think it is. But there is a scenario or hypothesis in which you might see stratospheric cooling as a result of increasing solar radiance. I don't know the exact numbers and I'm sure the math has been done on that showing that any co2 from oceans due to surface warming wouldn't have as pronounced an effect as we see and might get negated by absorption at higher altitudes, but the hypothesis is sound and I'm sure looking at data on it would be enlightening.
