You english is much better than mine.

Your knowledge of QED and GR probably as well,
what is fine, as I am not a physicist.

But your knowledge of physics of atmosphere
reminds a last minute flash reading of Wikipedia pages,
you will not tell me I do not know what I am talking about.

If you read the pages properly,
you would know that lapse rate L = -dT/dz,
therefore inversions have negative lapse rate.

L = 2 deg C/km is still mild yet negative gradient,
that makes a "holding layer" for all air climbing adiabatically.

You would do better to review
the overall temperature profile of the whole atmosphere,
and to study some baloon probe measurements of atmosphere profiles.

The approach to own mistakes is best manifested
on the approach to mistakes of others.

When you have nothing to address the objection of your statements,
you disappear, or play distraction game with English ( easy points),
formal things, or the favourite "gibberish" card.

Until to learn to deal with mistakes of others and your own,
you will stay a boy with big portion of earned knowledge,
like a second Sheldon Cooper.

I guess we both have wasted too much time in this thread,
I am not going to follow any more.
