Miskolczi's theory in a very complicated way explains that the greenhouse gas effect of CO2 is compensated by decrease of water vapour. In other words CO2 does not lead to substantial raise in temperatures. After many consultations with leading scientists it became clear the the Miskolczi theory is very weak and is not based on any serious science. Nevertheless climate sceptics in Hungary but also in the Netherlands and other countries are using the theory more and more actively. Carbon intensive lobbies are also inviting Miskolczi supporters to speak at their conferences.

Ferenc Miskolczi uses complex radiative transfer calculations on 228 measured atmospheric profiles of temperature and greenhouse gases to theorize "physical rules" for the Earth’s energy balance.
