text: IN recent years, a major advance in our understanding of the physical dynamics of the climate process has come from the work of Ferenc Miskolczi. For the present note I am calling his discovery the climatically saturated greenhouse effect. I use these words to mean that the saturation of which I speak is not the classical static saturation of an isolated system, but is saturation in a specially extended sense for an open system in a thermodynamically-non-equilibrium dynamic steady state.
