From Ace:
“Thank you for your letter inquiring about my membership. I did not renew it because I cannot live with the (APS) statement below (on global warming): APS: 'The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.'Go read the whole thing.
...
"In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? The claim (how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?) is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this ‘warming’ period.’"

I can't wait to see the efforts to discredit this scientist.
I already heard one fellow say "he's a physicist and climate science is not his specialty." I pointed out that the APS is the American Physical Society and climate science is not their specialty .... but I haven't heard back from the fellow.
Why is the APS as an institution weighing in? Perhaps because it's main function is to lobby Congress? Hmmm. Is there a conflict of interest here?
