The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 10,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming. The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science. The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming "incontrovertible."
In a posting to the APS forum, editor Jeffrey Marquis explains...

About damn time.
The only problem is, Americans are too ignorant or apathetic to care or even pay attention.
If it gets any traction at all, it will have to go on Oprah, the View and Dr. Phil, or be mentioned in football beer commercials and NASCAR.
When I debate global warming, I remind the other person about the heat wave of June-July 1980, when many cities, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Detroit had record high temps. of 115-120 degrees. I tell the other person that I don’t remember any of those cities being hotter than 105 degrees, since then. I ask how we can have global warming now but not have global warming when we were warmer. I haven’t found anyone who can answer.
It’s significant to us...but to the entire generation of young adults and children who have been thoroughly brainwashed with this junk science I think it’s too little too late. It’s going to be awfully hard to put that toothpaste back in the tube.
What we have here is a failure to communicate. Some men you just can’t reach. But after working a few days in Boss Kean’s ditch, they will get their minds right.
It is AMAZING how easily all of our best scientific bodies have been duped by global warming. I have lost much faith in integrity of science, and I have a degree in engineering.
I remember as a kid being taught that “Science” was equivalent to empiricism. In retrospect, it seems pretty funny.
Ha! Hot damn.
Science, after all, isn’t about consensus ... science isn’t democratic. Its about proof. Its about finding holes in your OWN theory, testing and re-testing each and every flaw, and either verifying your hypothesis, or refining it to match with the data.
Global warming has completely reversed the process — a theory was posited, voted on, and the “consensus” was accepted as truth without any verification whatsoever. No proof. No testing. No trial and error. Just a vote. That’s not science — that’s politics.

It seems to me that once any of this science has been politicized or subject to “concensus”, it is a very long trip back to credibility.
The GW hoaxers claim that the science was "settled" was just an attempt at pure agitprop.
I predict that the argument will change from
“the evidence for global warming is incontrovertible”
to
“we don’t really know if there is a human influence or not, but its better to be on the safe side”
Which, of course, is bogus as well. More goalpost moving, but it will still be the same hoax.
The IPCC's purposeful errors are designed to take down our economy and prosperity - nothing else.
Where can I get in?
I hope this is the final straw.
Same here. Scientists who work in the private sector can only get away with so much BS. But watch out for roving bands of scientists who make grandiose pronouncements --as in global cooling (circa 1977), global warming, nuclear power or evolutionary theory.
The days of total thought control via the MSM and the screaming idiots supporting the latest or oldest liberal lie are coming to an end.
Thanks to the internet, we can detect and prove the lies before the end of 24 hours and start posting that data.
It may take awhile, but eventually the truth will come out.
The liberals will label it Swiftboating, and we will just smile. We know that the Swiftboat Vets helped to derail Kerry, and many of us supported them. We know that Swiftboating stands for getting the truth out there inspite of the lying, spinning and thought controlling MSM.
A very large share of Americans are saying no to all forms of the liberal MSM. As a result the fishwraps and tv nets are having financial troubles that could force them out of business before and by the end of this decade.
