Climate Change, NOT!

US physics professor: 'Global
warming is the greatest and
most successful pseudoscientific
fraud I have seen in my long
life'...

Harold Lewis is Emeritus Professor
of Physics at the University of
California, Santa Barbara. Here is
his letter of resignation to Curtis G.
Callan Jr, Princeton University,
President of the American Physical
Society.
Anthony Watts describes it thus:
This is 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.
It’s so utterly damning that I’m
going to run it in full without
further comment. (H/T GWPF,
Richard Brearley).
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.
