Beam me to Planet Gore !
But...but...the scientists are unanimous! There’s a consensus!
inconvertible?............
Science has no place at the table for those who refuse to feed the beast.
He also wrote: “(how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?)”
I’ve been saying that is nonsense for years. It has no physical meaning.

Memo to Rick Perry:
Remember THIS GUY’S name! Memorize it. Spell it for the press.
I hope Perry remembers his name for the next debate. ;-)
‘Tute bump
How many agree with him but are afraid to say so!!!
He notes: “A science without controversy is a science without progress.”
with the rigidity of ‘scientific thought’ with both evolution and man made global warming I have come to the conclusion that the absolute adherance to these concepts in much more important than science itself. to me scientist have shrunk to the level of carnival gme hucksters. They will support any junk science so long as the grant funding keeps coming in. This man has courage
Meanwhile, Michael Mann is still at PSU and Joe Bastardi is gone from Accuweather.

Dear Ms. Kirby
Thank you for your letter inquiring about my membership. I did not renew it because I can not live with the statement below:
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.
In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? The claim (how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?) is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this ‘warming’ period.
Best regards,
Ivar Giaever
Nobel Laureate 1973

Lousy anti-science GOP-types — who are you going to trust: a Nobel prize-winning physicist who is an expert in tunneling phenomena in the behavior of semi-conducters, or a Nobel prize-winning activist who’s an expert in something or the other (ummh, maybe PowerPoint presnetations, or scraping through a non-majors course in an Ivy League school) . . .

I know Ivar and worked with him briefly many years ago when he was doing biology. He doesn’t sugar coat things as I found out during one of my presentations. He said he had an equation that proved what I was reporting was impossible. For a young scientist to hear that during a presentation is very unnerving. How do you argue physics with a Nobel Prize winner, especially since you are not a physicist? I argued as best I could but he wasn’t convinced. My work continued and several years later after another presentation where I had a ton of additional data, he came up to me and said “Now I believe it”. It was one of the high points of my career.
Oh, it's real alright!
Dr. Ivar Giaever is DEAD wrong!!!
I know for a fact that man made global warming is occurring.
The 24 year old trust fund,lefty who drives a SUV plastered with Stop Global Warming, Obama 2012 and No Blood for Oil bumper stickers with a major in Earth Science along with a minor in Womans Studies told me so!!!

Anyone know if a ‘colder and longer than usual’ winter is forecast?
You would think Washington DC would be the greenest place on earth; what with all the excess carbon dioxide...
