No mention of how this more rapid cooling above must have an
influence on the rate and amount of warming belowing.
That's in the study itself:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2300758120
There's also a link to "Sudden Stratospheric Warmings":

You'll understand the "Global-Mean Removal" test better than I do.
There's no wall of insulation between these layers and basics of heat transfer will still apply. Heat will flow to the cooler layers above
and the amount of warming below will be reduced as a result. They did
model this cooling...but not to this extent.
The science remains....unsettled.
"This paradox has long been predicted by climate modelers, but only
recently quantified in detail by satellite sensors. The new findings are providing a definitive confirmation on one important issue, but at the
same time raising other questions."
Looks like the science was on the right track. Why do you imply it's bad
to find a stronger effect when improved observations are made? It's not
like science only gets one measurement.
