You're probably a Republican. Political identity is a major reason why people don't accept the overwhelming evidence that AGW theory is correct. That was my point.

 Suffice it to say that the claims about tropospheric warming on that website are confused and poorly informed. The misperception you cite has been perpetuated by two scientists, Ray Spencer and John Christy, whose original failure to correct their satellite measurements in the 1990's started the story you cite, which is a typical denier trope. Discrepancies "between the amount of warming near the surface and higher in the atmosphere have been used to challenge the reliability of climate models and the reality of human-induced global warming. This significant discrepancy no longer exists because errors in the satellite and radiosonde data have been identified and corrected. New data sets have also been developed that do not show such discrepancies."
