text: In his book, Climate Change: A Natural Hazard, William Kininmonth, former head of Australias National Climate Centre says, The simple one-dimensional energy balance model used by the IPCC to justify its radiative forcing hypothesis is unrealistic in its portrayal of processes at the earth-atmosphere interface. The IPCC model suggests that the heat and latent energy exchange between the underlying surface and the atmosphere is a direct response to the imbalance of solar energy and terrestrial radiation at the surface. Such a proposal is at odds with the physics of the surface energy exchange processes. Its one of many errors made to achieve a result; actions that are the opposite of even poor science.
