"Notable Quotes"


" Our atmosphere, with its infinite degree of freedom, is able to maintain its global average infrared absorption at an optimal level. In technical terms, this “greenhouse constant” is the total infrared optical thickness of the atmosphere, and its theoretical value is 1.87. Despite the 30 per cent increase of CO2 in the last 61 years, this value has not changed. The atmosphere is not increasing its absorption power as was predicted by the IPCC. "

Skeptics From Around the Globe


HUNGARY


Miklos Zagoni - physicist and science historian at Eotvos Lorand University, Budapest



We have the real proof— but for the opposite [of man-made warming]. The greenhouse effect of the Earth is unchanged in the last 61 years on the NOAA database. Any impact that human emitted CO2 does have is countered by about 1% change in the atmospheric moisture content (being H2O the most important greenhouse gas). In this way, the equilibrium is re-established and permanently maintained. The greenhouse effect of the Earth’s atmosphere is saturated, works on it energetic extreme; the limiting power is the constraint of available energy. The Earth’s greenhouse machinery transforms all of its available energy with 100% efficiency into surface warming. Emitting more greenhouse gas (CO2, for example) into the air cannot improve this efficiency further. The 61 year average of the atmosphere’s optical thickness (the exact measure of the greenhouse effect) on the NOAA database is 1.86875, while its theoretical equilibrium value is 1.86756.

The new results were published in 2007 --- same year as IPCC 2007 report came out. I tried to involve them in my report, by my comments were refuted.
