Resignation causing stir,challenges the establishment position on "global warming"

QUOTE OF THE DAY – AT 10:27 A.M. ET: A distinguished physicist has resigned from the American Physical Society. And most people would reply, "So what?" But the resignation of Professor Emeritus Harold Lewis of the University of California from the prestigious scientific body is causing a stir because it challenges the establishment position on "global warming." Professor Lewis writes:

It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford’s book organizes the facts very well.) I don’t believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist.

Meteorologist Anthony Watts describes the resignation as "an important moment in science history. I would describe it as a letter on the scale of Martin Luther, nailing his 95 theses to the Wittenburg church door. It is worthy of repeating this letter in entirety on every blog that discusses science."

You can find the entire letter here. It is worth reading. Among other things, Prof. Lewis warns of the influence of government money on science, something President Eisenhower warned about in his farewell address to the nation in January of 1961. That was the famous "industrial-military complex speech," but only that part is remembered because it has served the purposes of the political left. The warning about government money and its influence on science was forgotten...until now.

We are in the midst of an election campaign, and it's easy to forget that "global warming" is one of the main building blocks of the leftist agenda, which it will pursue regardless of who wins in three weeks. Professor Lewis cannot be put away on a shelf and denigrated as a crackpot. He is a distinguished scientist.

We hope a revolution among scientists is underway. Maybe it's too much to ask for.

>>   "It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist."

There was another phenomenally successful pseudoscientific fraud in the 70's and 80's.

A conglomeration of statin manufacturers, zero-population-growth nitwits, liberals, animal rights activists, grain-state lobbyists and politicians, vegetable oil pushers, and other monied interests successfully converted the world's official dogma to the belief that dietary fat was bad, and cholesterol was bad.

Now the truth, that excessive carbohydrates CAUSE deadly increases in small-dense-LDL, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver disease, obesity, and more, is destroying our nation's health, right at the time when it is becoming the taxpayer's burden.

This from Dr. Mike Eades:

One of the major players in bringing cholesterol to the public’s awareness was Time magazine. Its piece on cholesterol in the March 26, 1984 issue was a devastating hit piece on both dietary cholesterol and dietary fat. Both – the article explained – were a main driving force behind the development of heart disease.

Reading this article today, it’s amazing how it drips with misinformation. At the time, however, most people – physicians included – accepted it as gospel. Sadly, even today, many physicians who should know better believe in and act in accordance to the bountiful misinformation contained in this piece.

What Professor Lewis noted here...

  "the money flood has become the raison d’être of much physics research, the vital sustenance of much more, and it provides the support for untold numbers of professional jobs."

 ...was exactly true of the nutritional pseudoscience fraud that continues and thrives even today.

And this from Evolutionary Medicine

It has long been incorrectly assumed that saturated fat and cholesterol is unhealthy and leads to cardiovascular disease. Just the opposite is true. Saturated fat corrects cardiovascular disease. When after eating high saturated fat and low carbohydrate for 6 months and thereafter having a VAP blood level test performed, my blood levels were an astounding HDL 63 mg/dl, TRIG 63 mg/dl, and LDL 153 mg/dl, all large fluffy and buoyant. A 13- year follow-up Quebec Cardiovascular Study says “CONCLUSIONS: These results indicated that estimated cholesterol levels in large LDL subfraction were not associated with an increased risk of (IHD) ischemic heart disease in men and that the cardiovascular risk attributable to variations in LI phenotype was largely related to markers of a preferential accumulation of small dense LDL particles”.

“Those who have opted to tread the path of corruption rather than the path of the scientific method are no longer scientists.”

Absolutely true!
