Could It Be? The Final Nail in the AGW Coffin?

Why can't the people who get paid to report the news find this stuff? I'm not even looking very hard.

Blogger Ace of Spades put me on to the link to what may be the final nail in the coffin of the AGW hypothesis: the computer models are wrong, and someone has figured out what the error is!

Hungarian atmospheric scientist Ferenc Miskolczi discovered that the climate models being used were based on a series of differential equations for modeling greenhouse gases originally derived in 1922 that made the assumption (to simplify the math) that the atmosphere was infinitely thick, which of course it isn't. So he did the logical thing -- he re-derived the equations including terms that described the actual thickness of the atmosphere. And guess what?

The new equations show that as CO2 concentrations go up, negative feedback forces kick in, limiting temperature rises and preventing any runaway global warming.

The new theory also 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, and what the actual data show appears to be happening right now.

The new model also accurately describes the witnessed global warming on Mars.

Dr. Miskolczi worked for NASA when he figured all this out. As one would expect in this politically correct nation, NASA refused to release the results, and he eventually published his findings in a Hungarian peer-reviewed scientific journal. When he resigned from NASA, his resignation letter stated, "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."

Global warming advocates dismiss his theory in spite of his model's more accurate fit with the data, the paleoclimate record, and the warming on Mars. After all, the AGW model just can't be wrong. There's too much money already tied up in it.

I thought it would take a while to find the evidence to disprove the AGW hypothesis. It never occurred to me that the hypothesis could be that fundamentally flawed.

So the coffin is now nailed shut. But we've all seen enough vampire movies to know that it won't stay shut, at least for a long while, and that the monsters will continue to plague us for some time.
