More Heretics Coming Out Of The Closet

Tim has all the scandalous details of this obviously deranged individual

"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.

In the gloried spirit of impartial scientific research, NASA refused to publish his theory.


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.

I'm shocked.

I hate it when that happens.

Hey, you get partial credit anyway if you show all your work, Ken.

NASA puts money ahead of science and truth? Shocking indeed!
