Physics Professor at UC Santa Barbara calls Global Warming a "Pseudoscientific Fraud"
Posted by org at 8:57 AMHarold Lewis is Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He recently submitted his resignation letter to Curtis G. Callan Jr, Princeton University, President of the American Physical Society. Lewis cites fraud and corruption in the global warming scam as the reasons for his departure. He writes:
How different it is now. The giants [of Physics] 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.Professor Lewis's letter goes on in great detail, and later includes this statement:
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.
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.Lewis's public resignation is a potent torpedo into the global warming scam. The pseudoscientific community will respond, of course, by slandering his reputation and ostracizing him. They've got a lucrative thing going and, like the crooked cops in "Serpico," they simply won't tolerate any whistle-blowers.
