This is heat transfer by removal or warm air upwards as it expands.

It is the principal by which a refrigerator works so I don't see what you have against convection, Derek.

Is convection heat loss or heat transfer please, you seem to say both.
If heat loss, please explain how, as my pdf tries to explain the heat has already been lost from the object or surface, before convecton occurs.

I thought most fridges use convected then exchanged latent heat to sensible heat?

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
(and hence clamorous to be led to safety)
by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

The hobgoblins have to be imaginary so that
"they" can offer their solutions, not THE solutions.
