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… Popularity: 100% [?] Short URL: redwhitebluenews.com/?p=7670

Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
So far, nobody has been able to refute any of those three. Even Bob Scheifer isn't buying this pretzel logic, as he displayed with Axelrod over the weekend, GO65.

I understood it the first time. That's why my post addressed the fallacy of the argument.

When I was in school this was the tac the libs used for control: -----------------------------------------------------------
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.
Same here. Another DISCREDITED JUNK SCIENCE BOOK was 'Silent Spring' which is directly responsible for millions of dead children since it was published, via malaria.

Are you saying that population increases don't represent a danger to the quality of life for everyone? Of course not, you also believe in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny and the Great Pumpkin.
Was the quality of life better in China and India 100 years ago? How about in the US?
No.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I am saying: one of the eco tactics you liberals tried to use to empower yourselves was the Population Bombs theories.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Congrats! You two morons just let someone with the IQ of buckeroo hijack you, away from a scientist's claim global warming is a hoax, into a debate about population control.

I guess you skipped over this part when you read the letter: (sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
Of course it's a scam and Al Gore should be arrested and prosecuted for fraud. While we're at it, whoever in the Obama administration was responsible for steeling GM from the bond holders should be prosecuted for grand larceny.
Population, World 6,697,254,041 - 2008 268,601 square miles for Texas That would be 24933.8388204 people per square mile if everyone on earth lived in Texas. 27878400 square feet in a square mile. That would be 1148 sq ft per person. Which would be a plot of land 57'X20' if every person on earth lived in Texas.
I'll go to a physicist for answers about climate as soon as I go to a plumber to have my heart checked. Again, the point here is that Lewis has zero record of accomplishment in the field of climate science.
And of course there's the discredited science that smoking isn't harmful.
The physicist was not commenting on climate, but rather on the methods used by the "climate scientists" and you know it. Have you read the ClimateGate documents/Montford's book? I'll bet not. So sad for you that "global warming" is now KNOWN to be the fraud it is, and all your whining and tantrum foot-stomping won't revive it. The "facts" you attempt to argue have been shown to be bullshit. That's why no one takes the time to debate your discredited "facts". No need to. "Global warming" as an issue, is dead.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
The point here is that Lewis has an OUTSTANDING record of accomplishment in the field of SCIENCE, and knows bullshit science research from sound science research. He knows far more about it than you do, I'll wager. On this subject, he's the expert, you're the plumber. I'll go with him.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
As do thousands of other scientists who disagree with him, why should his opinions trump those of others, especially the ones with a deep background in climate science who've actually made the effort to submit their work for peer review?
This is the dumbest thing I've ever read in my life. Seriously, if this is what you honestly believe then are you sadly one of the illiterate boneheads that have have made this country 25 out of 30 in terms of science education in the developed world. The entire universe, planet, atmosphere, etc. is ALL physics. Climatologist = the weatherman who almost gets nothing right. You have demonstrated one important reason why America is on the rocks.
It's only KNOWN to be a fraud if you dismiss the temperature record and the record of rising CO2 in the atmosphere. The problem with the "global warming is a fraud" crowd is that they offer nothing to back up their claims, instead they simply wave their arms and dismiss what they don't like, sort of like the 9/11 truthers.
Who do you go to when you feel ill, a medical doctor or a physicist? If you want to attack me for seeking out the opinions of climate scientists in matters of climate, be my guest.
Maybe you should try crying and pouting along with your whining and tantrum foot-stomping. It's over.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
I'm more than happy to debate global warming, but if the debate starts with "it's a fraud because I say so" there's not much of a point of going forward. Is there something specific you want to dispute and if so, on what basis?
LOL. What an extraordinarily poor analogy. To answer your inappropriate question, if I am sick I will see a doctor. If there are are lot of people who are sick, I may consult a biologist. Back to "climate change"... The climate of the earth is always changing. We came out of a major ice age tens of thousands of years ago. Did SUVs cause the "warming"? No. We also came out of a minor ice age a few hundred years ago. Were SUVs the culprit? No. Physics has already explained the warming and cooling cycles the earth has experienced. This entire global warming scam is all about RED politicians trying to wrap themselves in GREEN in gain power for themselves. Socialism is out of style. Communism is out of style. Fascism is out of style. So, now they are all Greens. Regardless of what name they call themselves, they are all still evil tyrants. That's the bottom line.
See ya around, plumber.
(sneakypete)DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Mad Dog's reply) I don't know or F ing care. Pete, MD doesn't know or care what Palin says or writes, he'll support her no matter what.
First off, my compliments to you for actually trying to engage in a debate. OK, now to answer your question. Yes, the climate has always changed, and will always change. What is different now is that the only plausible explanation for the accelerated warming over the last 30 years is rising CO2. We know that CO2 is rising, we know that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, and we know by analyzing CO2 that the bulk of it is coming from human activity. There are simply no other plausible explanations to explain what we've seen over the last 30 years. Now then, there is much disagreement as to the expected rate of warming and the impact. I've heard everything from minimal change to catastrophic change (e.g. the Venus effect), but again, the disputes over the impact/rate of change don't change the underlying argument - the earth is warming as a result of CO2 accumulation as a result of human activity. That people want to simply dismiss global warming because of politics is disturbing. Again, the only plausible explanation for the accelerated warming over the last 30 years is buildup of atmospheric CO2. There's no other explanation that's viable (feel free to offer one). And again, if that's your view then you need to offer up some alternative that explains accelerated warming over the last 30 years. If you want to simply wave your arms, dismiss the data, and claim it's all a fraud, then as I told wood chucker, there's no point in continuing the discussion.
Good day.
Here is one of many articles that I could post from different physicists which demonstrate that why your assertion is incorrect. The bottom line is that earth wobbles over long periods of time. The wobbles correspond to climate change. Right now we may be at the end of a long warming period and entering a cooling period. Wobbling Earth Triggers Climate Change Regular wobbles in the Earth's tilt were responsible for the global warming episodes that interspersed prehistoric ice ages, according to new evidence. The finding is the result of research led by Russell Drysdale of the University of Newcastle that has been able to accurately date the end of the penultimate ice age for the first time. The new dates, which appear in the today's edition of Science, show the end of the second last ice age occurring 141,000 years ago, thousands of years earlier than previously thought. Using information gathered from a trio of Italian stalagmites, the research has punched a hole in the prevailing theory that interglacial periods are related to changes in the intensity of the northern hemisphere summer. Drysdale and colleagues suggest that the Earth emerges from ice ages due in large part to changes in the tilt of the planet in relation to the sun, otherwise known as its obliquity. This affects the total amount of sunlight each hemisphere receives in its respective summer, rather than the peak intensity of the solar radiation during the northern summer. Sediment on the sea floor contains accurate a record of what happened to the Earth's climate prior to the last ice age. But up until now dating the sediment and the evident climatic changes has not been possible. Drysdale and colleagues overcome this difficulty by comparing the changes in the sea floor to similar material on the surface that can be accurately dated. John Hellstrom of the University of Melbourne used a very sensitive mass spectrometer to measure the amount of uranium and thorium contained in samples taken from the three stalagmites in the Italian Antro del Corchia cave to date the material.
Do you really believe that quote?
Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
The science is pretty clear and compelling. Then you're easily impressed. You read the "information" and think that it's a silver bullet. By that same logic, more people die in hospitals, then anywhere else. Therefore, if you don't want to die, stay out of hospitals. Or another example, high rates of criminal activities occur in areas where there are lots of churches. The natural conclusion one could reach, is that churches cause crime. Statistically, both conclusions are valid. However, they can't pass the sniff-test. You need to get real.
Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
Again, I am agreeing with you that there are a multitude of factors that can, and have caused climate change, but there's no evidence that anything other than CO2 is causing the accelerated warming we've seen over the last 30 years. There is no evidence that the current warming trend is due to wobbling. However, there is evidence that changes in rotational axis over 40,000 years triggered the ice ages: http://www.livescience.com/environment/050330_earth_tilt.html Again, my point to you is that there are indeed a multitude of factors that can impact climate. But again, there is no viable explanation at this point that anything other than CO2 buildup is causing the rapid warming we've seen in the last 30 years.
Facts: 1. Atmospheric CO2 is increasing 2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, rising atmospheric amounts cause rising global temperatures 3. global average temperatures are rising in conjunction with rising CO2 4. Human activity is generating the majority of the accumulating CO2. That is getting real. Again, I'm open to debating any of the above if you want to offer plausible alternative explanations for the accelerated warming over the last 30 years. But if you want to join wood chopper in saying "it's all bunk because I say so" then I would question whether or not you are putting politics ahead of science.
I just posted the evidence. The earth has wobbled for billions of years. The earth didn't stop wobbling when Al Gore decided make billions on this scam.
Re-read what you posted: There's no correlation presented between changes in wobble and changes in temperature. And, there's nothing that nullifies the data showing rising atmospheric CO2. If you are denying that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, then you are denying physics. If you are denying that atmospheric CO2 is rising, then you are denying the evidence. That's certainly your prerogative, but I see you as smarter than the "it's all bunk because I say so" crowd.
2. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, rising atmospheric amounts cause rising global temperatures 3. global average temperatures are rising in conjunction with rising CO2 4. Human activity is generating the majority of the accumulating CO2. To ALL points: PROVE IT. You keep spouting mumbo-jumbo bullshit. Bring HARD EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE, not the manipulated data that the global-warming crowd was using to push their agenda. Until then, you've got dick. Oh, and for the record, the main component to the "greenhouse" effect... is water vapor. What, you gonna' try and outlaw water? Interesting fact: temperature variations occur with solar activity. This is reflected in temperature variations across not only the Earth, but other planets as well. You gonna' say that humans are responsible for them, too? The facts ARE clear. YOU are the crank. LOL.
Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
Sure: www.ipcc.ch/publications_...report_synthesis_report.htm BTW, to be fair, the report is somewhat dated and was wrong in it's main conclusion - temperatures have risen faster than projected in the report.
Of course solar variations cause temperature variations. But given the fact that we're at an eleven year minimum for solar activity, it's impossible to correlate change in solar activity with rising temperatures over the last 30 years. If anything, the minimum should have caused temperatures to "fall", not rise. Overall the sun has shown a slight cooling trend since 1960 (see: http://www.skepticalscience.com/acrim-pmod-sun-getting-hotter.htm). There is no correlation between solar activity and the warming we've seen over the last 30 years. Once again, we're back to rising CO2.

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. For example: 1. About a year ago a few of us sent an e-mail on the subject to a fraction of the membership. APS ignored the issues, but the then President immediately launched a hostile investigation of where we got the e-mail addresses. In its better days, APS used to encourage discussion of important issues, and indeed the Constitution cites that as its principal purpose. No more. Everything that has been done in the last year has been designed to silence debate 2. The appallingly tendentious APS statement on Climate Change was apparently written in a hurry by a few people over lunch, and is certainly not representative of the talents of APS members as I have long known them. So a few of us petitioned the Council to reconsider it. One of the outstanding marks of (in)distinction in the Statement was the poison word incontrovertible, which describes few items in physics, certainly not this one. In response APS appointed a secret committee that never met, never troubled to speak to any skeptics, yet endorsed the Statement in its entirety. (They did admit that the tone was a bit strong, but amazingly kept the poison word incontrovertible to describe the evidence, a position supported by no one.) In the end, the Council kept the original statement, word for word, but approved a far longer “explanatory” screed, admitting that there were uncertainties, but brushing them aside to give blanket approval to the original. The original Statement, which still stands as the APS position, also contains what I consider pompous and asinine advice to all world governments, as if the APS were master of the universe. It is not, and I am embarrassed that our leaders seem to think it is. This is not fun and games, these are serious matters involving vast fractions of our national substance, and the reputation of the Society as a scientific society is at stake. 3. In the interim the ClimateGate scandal broke into the news, and the machinations of the principal alarmists were revealed to the world. It was a fraud on a scale I have never seen, and I lack the words to describe its enormity. Effect on the APS position: none. None at all. This is not science; other forces are at work. 4. So a few of us tried to bring science into the act (that is, after all, the alleged and historic purpose of APS), and collected the necessary 200+ signatures to bring to the Council a proposal for a Topical Group on Climate Science, thinking that open discussion of the scientific issues, in the best tradition of physics, would be beneficial to all, and also a contribution to the nation. I might note that it was not easy to collect the signatures, since you denied us the use of the APS membership list. We conformed in every way with the requirements of the APS Constitution, and described in great detail what we had in mind—simply to bring the subject into the open. 5. To our amazement, Constitution be damned, you declined to accept our petition, but instead used your own control of the mailing list to run a poll on the members’ interest in a TG on Climate and the Environment. You did ask the members if they would sign a petition to form a TG on your yet-to-be-defined subject, but provided no petition, and got lots of affirmative responses. (If you had asked about sex you would have gotten more expressions of interest.) There was of course no such petition or proposal, and you have now dropped the Environment part, so the whole matter is moot. (Any lawyer will tell you that you cannot collect signatures on a vague petition, and then fill in whatever you like.) The entire purpose of this exercise was to avoid your constitutional responsibility to take our petition to the Council. 6. As of now you have formed still another secret and stacked committee to organize your own TG, simply ignoring our lawful petition. APS management has gamed the problem from the beginning, to suppress serious conversation about the merits of the climate change claims. Do you wonder that I have lost confidence in the organization? I do feel the need to add one note, and this is conjecture, since it is always risky to discuss other people’s motives. This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don’t think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club. Your own Physics Department (of which you are chairman) would lose millions a year if the global warming bubble burst. When Penn State absolved Mike Mann of wrongdoing, and the University of East Anglia did the same for Phil Jones, they cannot have been unaware of the financial penalty for doing otherwise. As the old saying goes, you don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. Since I am no philosopher, I’m not going to explore at just which point enlightened self-interest crosses the line into corruption, but a careful reading of the ClimateGate releases makes it clear that this is not an academic question. I want no part of it, so please accept my resignation. APS no longer represents me, but I hope we are still friends. Hal

This entire global warming scam is all about RED politicians trying to wrap themselves in GREEN in gain power for themselves. Socialism is out of style. Communism is out of style. Fascism is out of style. So, now they are all Greens.

What is different now is that the only plausible explanation for the accelerated warming over the last 30 years is rising CO2.

It's not that unusual to see someone who is very bright and talented wander off into "crankhood" (especially in their twilight years).

here's no evidence that anything other than CO2 is causing the accelerated warming we've seen over the last 30 years.

I just posted the evidence.
Regular wobbles in the Earth's tilt were responsible for the global warming episodes that interspersed prehistoric ice ages, according to new evidence.

Interesting fact: temperature variations occur with solar activity. This is reflected in temperature variations across not only the Earth, but other planets as well. You gonna' say that humans are responsible for them, too?

I want no part of it, so please accept my resignation. APS no longer represents me, but I hope we are still friends.
