Top scientist resigns from post – admits Global Warming is a scam Share

As reported by the Gateway Pundit: Top US scientist Hal Lewis resigned this week from his post at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He admitted global warming climate change was nothing but a scam in his resignation letter.

From the Telegraph (because for some reason the Liberal Media here in the U.S don’t like this stuff getting out).

The following is a letter to the American Physical Society released to the public by Professor Emeritus of physics Hal Lewis of the University of California at Santa Barbara.

Sent: Friday, 08 October 2010 17:19 Hal Lewis From: Hal Lewis, University of California, Santa Barbara To: Curtis G. Callan, Jr., Princeton University, President of the American Physical Society 6 October 2010

Dear Curt:

When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which Dwight Eisenhower warned a half-century ago).

Indeed, the choice of physics as a profession was then a guarantor of a life of poverty and abstinence—it was World War II that changed all that. The prospect of worldly gain drove few physicists. As recently as thirty-five years ago, when I chaired the first APS study of a contentious social/scientific issue, The Reactor Safety Study, though there were zealots aplenty on the outside there was no hint of inordinate pressure on us as physicists. We were therefore able to produce what I believe was and is an honest appraisal of the situation at that time. We were further enabled by the presence of an oversight committee consisting of Pief Panofsky, Vicki Weisskopf, and Hans Bethe, all towering physicists beyond reproach. I was proud of what we did in a charged atmosphere. In the end the oversight committee, in its report to the APS President, noted the complete independence in which we did the job, and predicted that the report would be attacked from both sides. What greater tribute could there be?

How different it is now. The giants no longer walk the earth, and 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. For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.

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.

So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm, and gone along with it…

It's not that unusual to see someone who is very bright and talented wander off into "crankhood" (especially in their twilight years). That happened to Linus Pauling and Kerry Mullis (Nobel laureates in chemistry).

More cranks with PhD's can be found here: http://www.catholicintl.com/galileowaswrong/index.html

Now, how do you distinguish cranks from non-cranks? The best way is to see what they've published in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. You will want to look at what they've actually published, what journals they've published in (are the journals leading journals, or low-impact "fringe" journals?), and perhaps most importantly, *how many times their work has been cited by other researchers*. That last item is known as the "impact factor".

Scientists like James Hansen, who have published large numbers of articles in leading scientific journals (like Science, Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, etc), and whose research has been cited many times by other researchers, are the real deal.

Scientists like Harold Lewis who have published little or no climate research, who haven't been cited by other climate researchers, and yet make loud public pronouncements about the field in which they've performed no research, can safely be labeled as cranks.

And yes, I read his Lewis' letter -- it contained zero evidence in support of his claim that climate-science is fraudulent. It is nothing more than the ravings of a former scientist now in his declining years. Also note that Lewis' area of specialty is far outside of climate-science. Asking Lewis about climate science would be like consulting your Dentist about open-heart surgery.

His point wasn't that climate science is fraudulent, it was that the scientific process based upon open inquiry has been abandoned. Something that Lewis is quite familiar with.

again, given his lack of involvement in climate science, it's hard to take his claims seriously.

I keep pointing out that refuting global warming is simple: 1. simply demonstrate that CO2 isn't rising 2. demonstrate that CO2 isn't rising a consequence of human activity 3. demonstrate that CO2 isn't a greenhouse gas

So far, nobody has been able to refute any of those three.

That's because it's impossible to prove a negative. I'll give you a dollar if you can prove you didn't pick your nose last night

It's not impossible prove any of those aren't true. Take air samples around the globe and demonstrate CO2 isn't rising.

The science is pretty clear and compelling.
