Editor’s note: In response to reader interest in Dr. Ferenc Miskolczi’s provocative greenhouse theory challenging the widespread belief in man-caused global warming, Climate Truth has asked the former NASA researcher to explain his work further. Earlier this week he attacked the prevailing climate-change theory, calling it “a lie.”
At Dr. Miskolczi’s request, we also have posted his letter sent last year to the Environmental Protection Agency, summarizing his research and questioning the agency’s efforts to declare CO2 a harmful pollutant that poses a threat to earth’s climate.
Climate Truth: Has there been global warming?
Dr. Miskolczi: No one is denying that global warming has taken place, but it has nothing to do with the greenhouse effect or the burning of fossil fuels.
Climate Truth: According to the conventional anthropogenic global warming (AGW) theory, as human-induced CO2 emissions increase, more surface radiation is absorbed by the…

If that is really true, then it’s game over. No wonder NASA wants to shut it down, because they’ve lost their space money, and now they’d lose their climate change money. And the good doctor’s theory makes a lot more sense than the other crap coming out on Catastrophic AGW.
I have always maintained that there are balancing mechanisms that keep runaway warming from occurring, and Dr Miskolczi’s work fits well with my view of how our planet operates. It will be interesting to see what both sides have to say.
That Climate Truth article is two and a half years old. I left the following comment there just now:
“The simplest definitive evidence against the existence of the consensus “greenhouse effect” is my Venus/Earth atmospheric temperatures comparison, which simply shows that the temperature ratio, at points of equal pressure and over the full range of Earth tropospheric pressures, is a constant due only to the ratio of the two planets’ distances from the Sun, according to the most basic physics, and nothing else. Venus has over 2400 times the atmospheric CO2 concentration of Earth, yet that huge difference has no effect upon the Venus temperatures whatsoever.”
That’s because the CO2 on Venus isn’t man-made /s
Yes, the article is dated, but nonetheless a good synopsis of Dr. Miskolczi’s groundbreaking work. I plan in the near future to interview him for a follow-up article. By the way, NASA did not want to address Miskolczi’s remarks, but instead directed me to a PR spokesperson.

Good blog interview, Kirk. From your blog and Dr. Miskolczi’s 2009 letter to the EPA: “the infrared absorbing capability of the atmosphere has not been changed; therefore, the greenhouse effect can not be the cause of the global warming.” To simplify, could one say that theoretical models are correct that contend that there is no effective GHE after 200ppm?
And another point I make, as on wuwt yesterday:
