12.0pt;line-height:150%'>The distinguished career of Harold Lewis, Emeritus
Professor of Physics at the University of California at Santa Barbara, also
includes serving as a former member Defense Science Board (DSB), chairman of
the DSB study on Nuclear Winter, former member of the President's Nuclear
Safety Oversight Committee; Chairman APS study on Nuclear Reactor Safety,
Chairman Risk Assessment Review Group, and former member USAF Scientific
Advisory Board. He recently resigned with the letter below from the
American Physical Society (APS) after 67 years of membership, including serving
as its chairman and as a fellow of the society. His reason, "<b><span
style='background:yellow;font-weight:bold'>the global warming scam</span></b>,
with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that <b><span
style='background:yellow;font-weight:bold'>has corrupted so many scientists</span></b>,
and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. <b><span
style='background:yellow;font-weight:bold'>It is the greatest and most
successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist</span></b>.
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" [emphasis mine]. The
entirety of his resignation letter can be found at <a
href="http://courses.unt.edu/kappelman/blog/">http://courses.unt.edu/kappelman/blog/</a>
along with references to hundreds of other scientists who also contest the theory
of CO2 from humans (or any source) causing climate change to any meaningful
degree.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
