"American Physical Society Sees The Light: Will It Be The First Major Scientific Institution To Reject The Global Warming 'Consensus'?"

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step -- let's hope this is a first major step in the direction of the rejection of the entire global warming scam.

Global warming ping

[driftdiver]

So government grants are the cause of global warming?

[pfflier]

Perhaps they will reveal the bogus "science". I taught physics in high school until I retired and when the statement was made by algore "The science is settled" many of my students will attest that I went ballistic.

The essence of the the scientific problem solving process is constant research, revision and proving, not consensus

[HiTech RedNeck]

One small step for men, one giant leap for mankind.

Engineers would never dare step off into the world of speculation like this. They know that to do so would be to create designs that would fail.

BLASPHEMY! These evil earth killers need to locked up! ;>}

[Mr. K]

“notorious” climate change skeptics?

no bias here...

[Kartographer]

I guess they understand that there will now be calls for the for members to be jailed for heresy.

[Vince Ferrer]

They are already planning the replacememt scam.

The utter collapse of human civilization will be ‘difficult to avoid,’ NASA funded study says

Among the first articles in the Global Warming scam was a professor at UC Irvine winning a Nobel Prize for claiming that refrigerant R-12 was destroying Earth's upper atmosphere.

Having worked with R-12, I positively knew that R-12 liquid molecules -- upon release and expanding from liquid to gas -- are heavier than air. That means the R-12 molecule drops down, not up.

Having worked aboard Naval ships, I knew released R-12 was heavier than air because releasing R-12 aboard a ship tends to fill the entire hull with R-12 molecules ... pushing out air and killing humans trying to escape.

The physicists will be the first to turn.

When I was in grad school in physics, the APS was the most important of the physics organizations.

[GOPJ]

Yes the American Physical Society's change of heart is significant but we've a long way to go before that oil tanker turns round. Or, as Churchill might have said: "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

The 'end of the beginning'...well, it's a start.

[Stosh]

Physicists may be among the most clear-thinking when it comes to objective questions - I remember when Ivan Glaever, a Nobel Laureate in physics, resigned from the APS because of their stand on AGW:

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/09/14/nobel-prize-winning-physicist-resigns-from-top-physics-group-over-global/

The alarmists make a big deal out of all the scientific societies that support the AGW racket - what they don’t realize (or admit) is that the best scientists are in the lab doing science; in many cases the leadership of the professional societies are shot through with bureaucratic mediocrities whose real interests are more political than scientific.

[DuncanWaring]

Ping.

“The American Physical Society (APS) is the world’s second largest organization of physicists,”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Physical_Society

No climatologists so libs will say big deal.

[chessplayer]

Libs already ridicule the APS.

[DarkSavant]

There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club. Your own Physics Department (of which you are chairman) would lose millions a year if the global warming bubble burst.

There is a mythology that scientific research is drawn by data and knowledge rather than money. They believe every a scientist is a wholly objective entity with no personal ambitions other than learning the truth. Money corrupts even the scientist.

[hinckley buzzard]

I believe this is the organization that had its Nobel laureate president resign in protest a year or two ago because of its mindless parroting of the AGW scam. perhaps that act of integrity is bearing fruit.

In the meantime Obama launched a new website promoting the issue of global warming and wants to spend another $1 BILLION!

I know several physicists. My education includes a Masters in Engineering with a focus on quantum mechanics. Not a single one of them (or me for that matter) ever bought into the AGW garbage. Why? Because we know what “absorption spectra” and “Plank’s Law” are.

Funny thing is, I’ve brought both of those topics up to AGW fanatics. Never had one understand what those terms even mean.

AGW is a fraud. PERIOD.

[Dick Bachert]

Looks like some of these folks have opted to resign from Algore’s Grant Money Whores Club.

For really bright people, some of them are a bit slow.
