Greenhouse effect equations for the earth are totally wrong
Miklós Zágon was a global warming activist and a physicist for NASA. He finds out the 80 year old greenhouse equations used in global warming modeling are totally wrong. So like a good physicist he corrects the equations and gives them to his employer. However, NASA would not release the data. So the scientist had to publish his theory in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in his home country of Hungary.
His data supports that there will be no runaway global warming based on CO2 increases.
This report is being downplayed because there is big money in the global warming business, not to even consider all the egg on the face of the know-it-all all big mouths who have claimed that the scientific discussion is over.
DailyTech - Researcher: Basic Greenhouse Equations “Totally Wrong”
Miskolczi’s story reads like a book. Looking at a series of differential equations for the greenhouse effect, he noticed the solution — originally done in 1922 by Arthur Milne, but still used by climate researchers today — ignored boundary conditions by assuming an “infinitely thick” atmosphere. Similar assumptions are common when solving differential equations; they simplify the calculations and often result in a result that still very closely matches reality. But not always.So Miskolczi re-derived the solution, this time using the proper boundary conditions for an atmosphere that is not infinite. His result included a new term, which acts as a negative feedback to counter the positive forcing. At low levels, the new term means a small difference … but as greenhouse gases rise, the negative feedback predominates, forcing values back down.
NASA refused to release the results. Miskolczi believes their motivation is simple. “Money”, he tells DailyTech. Research that contradicts the view of an impending crisis jeopardizes funding, not only for his own atmosphere-monitoring project, but all climate-change research. Currently, funding for climate research tops $5 billion per year.
Miskolczi resigned in protest, stating in his resignation letter, “Unfortunately my working relationship with my NASA supervisors eroded to a level that I am not able to tolerate. My idea of the freedom of science cannot coexist with the recent NASA practice of handling new climate change related scientific results.”
His theory was eventually published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in his home country of Hungary.

Miskolczi’s paper was riddled with errors and should have been rejected in peer review. For example, he states that Kirchhoff’s Law requires emission to be the same as absorption. That’s a freshman mistake. Kirchhoff’s Law requires emissivity to be the same as absorptivity.
Note, also, that his figure for the Earth’s semigray infrared optical thickness — 1.841 — is below every other published estimate, and even below the figure you get from writing a simple radiation balance. His contention that feedbacks somehow keep this figure from varying is laughable. If he were correct, there would have been no ice ages, and Venus would have a temperature climate.
Thanks for your input. If you ever run across his response to the criticisms you bring up I hope you will provide me a link to it. Also, if he makes a retraction let me know.
