In this, he is in violent agreement with Isaac Held, his colleague at GFDL, and indeed most climate scientists. The key aspects were the inclusion of water vapour feedback as temperatures increased, and the use of ‘convective adjustment’ to maintain stability of the lower atmospheric column. 1975) , and Bryan et al.
