Here is the statement from the front page of the APS:

“APS Climate Change Statement
APS Position Remains Unchanged

The American Physical Society reaffirms the following position on climate change, adopted by its governing body, the APS Council, on November 18, 2007:

“Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth’s climate.”

An article at odds with this statement recently appeared in an online newsletter of the APS Forum on Physics and Society, one of 39 units of APS. The header of this newsletter carries the statement that “Opinions expressed are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the APS or of the Forum.” This newsletter is not a journal of the APS and it is not peer reviewed.”

07.1 CLIMATE CHANGEEmail | Print
(Adopted by Council on November 18, 2007)

Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth’s climate. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide as well as methane, nitrous oxide and other gases. They are emitted from fossil fuel combustion and a range of industrial and agricultural processes.

The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.

Because the complexity of the climate makes accurate prediction difficult, the APS urges an enhanced effort to understand the effects of human activity on the Earthâ€™s climate, and to provide the technological options for meeting the climate challenge in the near and longer terms. The APS also urges governments, universities, national laboratories and its membership to support policies and actions that will reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

Apparently this attack, like others, was led by the demented luddite, APS's own, Robert Park.
Park invoked that Monckton is a "Denier", and most importantly,
was not trained as a physicist and threfore had no right to discuss
the 'religion' (**) of physics. (** as Park sees it, he is the 'Pope' and 'Protector' of American science and current funding).

PARK "1. GOOD LORD! GLOBAL WARMING DENIERS VANDALIZE APS.
"...on the denier's side was Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, who inherited his father's peerage in 2006.
Lord Monckton is not a scientist, his degree is in journalism and he's a reporter for the Evening Standard, an English tabloid.
Whatever it is that Viscounts do, he may do very well, but he doesn't know squat about physics and his journalism suffers from it.
Worse, somebody fed the media the line that Monckton's rubbish meant the APS had changed its position on warming;
of course it has not. Few media outlets took the story seriously."
