<Sebastian Bathiany> coauthored an analysis explaining why increasing <carbon dioxide> can cool the middle atmosphere while contributing to warming elsewhere. The work compares radiative regimes rather than treating a gas as having one temperature effect independent of its surroundings.<Why CO2 cools the middle atmosphere - a consolidating model perspective by Helge F. Goessling and Sebastian Bathiany>[Abstract and model comparison]{ref}

The physical interpretation depends on the balance of absorbed and emitted <radiation>, the atmospheric structure and the level at which energy escapes. This is a concrete application of <radiative transfer> to <climate>.
