Here's an interesting comparison of what climate models say is happening... and what is happening.
I believe this site was put up specifically for this one post so don't look for more. When you examine the graphs, the vertical axis is in atmospheric pressure, so the lower the value, the higher the altitude. Data sources are shown.
The point of this analysis is that data from 3 separate measuring sources verifies that the model's expected heating is simply not happening... except at latitude 90 degrees (north polar region - no corresponding heating at south polar region).The author also provided an historical temperature chart for all latitudes going back over a century (south pole data sketchy prior to 1955)
