I second Keith. That thesis is so flawed & quality of argument and writing so poor I’m surprised any institution like Technische Universität Braunschweig would pass it.

I just had a quick skim though, but it seems to be rambling on about whatever came to mind at the time. I love the bit where they try and go through Maxwell’s equations and so talk about magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, but completely fail to make any kind of point. I think they were trying to say something like because fluid equations are non-linear, and so can’t be analytically solved, we can’t hope to find out any useful information from modeling.

I would have expected in all the stuff about radiation to have a graph of the CO2 and water absorption spectra like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7c/Atmospheric_Transmission.png, but no – not even a mention
