Physics Professor Quits American Physical Society Calling Global Warming a Fraud

Harold Lewis is the Professor Emiritus of physics at the University of California at Santa Barbara. This is not a small physics lab. This place pumps out Nobel Prize winners. And the American Physical Society, after working hard to silence debate on Global Warming and climate change, has driven Hal Lewis to quit the society.

Hal’s resignation letter from the APS is printed in full at the Telegraph 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. 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.

Lewis goes on to list the many instances where the APS has tried to stifle debate on global warming. And at the end he makes sure he lists his credentials and experience:

Harold Lewis is Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, former Chairman; Former member Defense Science Board, chmn of Technology panel; Chairman DSB study on Nuclear Winter; Former member Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards; Former member, President’s Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee; Chairman APS study on Nuclear Reactor Safety Chairman Risk Assessment Review Group; Co-founder and former Chairman of JASON; Former member USAF Scientific Advisory Board; Served in US Navy in WW II; books: Technological Risk (about, surprise, technological risk) and Why Flip a Coin (about decision making)

Science was something people could point at as absolute truth. Not anymore. It has become terminally corrupted by money and politics.
