New derivation of equations governing the greenhouse effect reveals "runaway warming" impossible Miklós Zágoni isn't just a physicist and environmental researcher. He is also a global warming activist and Hungary's most outspoken supporter of the Kyoto Protocol. Or was. That was until he learned the details of a new theory of the greenhouse effect, one that not only gave far more accurate climate predictions here on Earth, but Mars too. The theory was developed by another Hungarian scientist, Ferenc Miskolczi, an atmospheric physicist with 30 years of experience and a former researcher with NASA's Langley Research Center. After studying it, Zágoni stopped calling global warming a crisis, and has instead focused on presenting the new theory to other climatologists. The data fit extremely well. "I fell in love," he stated at the International Climate Change Conference this week. "Runaway greenhouse theories contradict energy balance equations," Miskolczi states. Just as the theory of relativity sets an upper limit on velocity, his theory sets an upper limit on the greenhouse effect, a limit which prevents it from warming the Earth more than a certain amount. How did modern researchers make such a mistake? They relied upon equations derived over 80 years ago, equations which left off one term from the final solution. 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. The conclusions are supported by research published in the Journal of Geophysical Research last year from Steven Schwartz of Brookhaven National Labs, who gave statistical evidence that the Earth's response to carbon dioxide was grossly overstated. It also helps to explain why current global climate models continually predict more warming than actually measured. The equations also answer thorny problems raised by current theory, which doesn't explain why "runaway" greenhouse warming hasn't happened in the Earth's past. The new theory predicts that greenhouse gas increases should result in small, but very rapid temperature spikes, followed by much longer, slower periods of cooling -- exactly what the paleoclimatic record demonstrates. However, not everyone is convinced. Dr. Stephen Garner, with the NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), says such negative feedback effects are "not very plausible". Reto Ruedy of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies says greenhouse theory is "200 year old science" and doubts the possibility of dramatic changes to the basic theory. Miskowlczi has used his theory to model not only Earth, but the Martian atmosphere as well, showing what he claims is an extremely good fit with observational results. For now, the data for Venus is too limited for similar analysis, but Miskolczi hopes it will one day be possible.

He is right here in one respect - it IS about money, but he is missing a term in the equation - POWER. The Globull Warming Scam is not so much about NASA's money, although I'm sure the Technocrats who run NASA do watch that, but it is more about the Trillions to be derived from the taxation and upward redistribution of wealth which the Scammers are pushing for. It also, like the phony "WaronTerra", and "Flu Pandemic" it provides a fig leaf of pretext for greater and greater restrictions upon the behaviors and freedoms of us schmucks not in the elite Bankster class. What is really going on here is, I am sure, that the top Administrative Technocrats at NASA have been given their marching orders and have been told to produce a "Scientific" result (meaning fraudulent science) which supports the Globull Warming Theory at all costs or else. So, with their worthless necks on the line the maladministrators are pushing "science" which supports the covert agenda of greater regimentation and restrictions on individual liberty. Ultimately like most all of the agendas pushed by the Global Banking Elite, and their Pet Psychiatrists, it is about convincing people that they are in danger and thus must surrender their liberties or die. Survival is a powerful motivation and so those who have been convinced by the con job will of course fight tooth and nail to support the Global Elite's agenda which, were they in full possession of their senses and accurate data, they would normally oppose. In short like the so-called "WaronTerra" and the Global Warming Con is about money, power, and control. Not that we do not have real environmental problems, but this is not one of them. Much more of a problem are the growing dead zones in the oceans, industrial pollutants (from the Bankster's Factories), and the emission of noxious gases such as Hydrogen Sulfide, Sulfur Dioxide, and Mercury Vapor, from Coal Fired Power Plants. As well is the global food production problem which is again a result of politics aimed as supporting the financial interests of a few at the expense of the many. Genetically manipulated plants and animals which produce entirely new classes of poisons (while being touted as healthful by the whores of the media), unsustainable farming methods which require greater and greater inputs of petrochemicals (while destroying the soil), producing food with less and less nutritive value and conglomerating control of food production, again, in the hands of a few. If one studies the issues and looks honestly at the data over and over and over again it leads back to the same small cabal of hyperwealthy individuals, largely centered in the city of London Banking District, with names like Rothschild, Warburg, Hapsburg, and Rockefeller. One small group manipulating events, industries, and people for their own psychotic ends. They are quite mad and make a rogue Bull Elephant look tame in comparison of the damage done. Of course people have been trained and conditioned by the Psychiatrically devised "News" and "Infotainment" industry to immediately stop thinking and looking as soon as the magic control words are uttered "Conspiracy Theory". Never mind that the data is in plain view and the trail easily followed by anyone with the wit God gave even the most humble - you can't look, are not allowed to look, and are repeatedly ordered not to look by those magic words, never mind the facts, it's all just a conspiracy theory".

....We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power..... .... 'How does one man assert his power over another, Winston?' Winston thought. 'By making him suffer,' he said. 'Exactly. By making him suffer. Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery is torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain. The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy everything. Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always -- do not forget this, Winston -- always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever.' ....

It's my opinion that this won't happen. 'They' might try, but ultimately the human spirit will prevail. God is in charge and it always has been, is and always will be a good world. Happy Sunday.
