Is that supposed to be some sort of “gotcha” there Gordon?
GHGs cool the upper strat.
Ozone depletion cools the lower strat.
Both are cooling significantly, but the upper strat is cooling most of all.

The fact is that Christopher Monckton appears to be the source for the idea that tropical tropospheric temperatures are a “fingerprint” for GHG warming. But this is based on a misreading of the IPCC report. If you look around on climate blogs enough, you’ll find where I discuss this in more detail.
