Subject: I resign from APSDear Ms. Kirby
Thank you for your letter inquiring about my membership. I did not renew it because I can not live with the statement below:
Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth’s climate. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide as well as methane, nitrous oxide and other gases. They are emitted from fossil fuel combustion and a range of industrial and agricultural processes.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.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.
Best regards,
Ivar Giaever
Nobel Laureate 1973
Is this one of the ‘fake scientists’ to which Big Al refers? He sure fakes it good!
God bless him for standing up for the truth.
Are you going to post about Palin’s affairs and Cocaine use?
Gee, a girl in her twenties likes boys! Bombshell alert!
Unfounded allegations of illicit drug use (yawn). Barry O admits he was a coke head.
Then there is this…
Isn’t she against sex before marriage?
She wasn’t married. Gee you leftists are dumb.
And apparently Barry O is fine with terrorists and nose candy.
“Isn’t she against sex before marriage?”
My bad, I scanned comment and thought I saw ‘extra marital’.
I know very few people who can claim no sex before marriage, including church goers. Men and women have been hooking up since the dawn of time. So what?
Does this bother you more than scientists comitting fraud to enrich themselves? If it does, you need therapy.
Using that logic, then President Obama supports cocaine usage. Just because someone did something in the past doesn’t mean they can’t repent.
Wow, I just posted on a political-based thread…amazing.

Do you want to be marked as spam?
If it was Obama doing these things you would be reporting it. Just saying..
No I wouldn’t. I write about him ripping off the country for $6 trillion.
I for one do not like warming skepticism pigeonholed into a laundry list of right wing political causes, many of which I disagree with.
You’ve just been trolled! The aim of a troll is to derail the thread. What the **** has this to do with Ivar Giaever?
It’s not like I can create a topic. I posted this here because a politician is party of the article posted.
Get your own weblog, spammer.
Brian’s taste buds are in his ass, along with his sensibilities, ears, eyes, nose, throat, what’s left of his mind. Rectal cranial inversion basically.
Just saying…
It is spam. Off-topic, non sequitur. Too bad “Bran” can’t discuss the science, but has to resort to such tactics as talking about gossip sites.
And you believe this stuff? Because a has been athlete wrote a book?
[snip - spam]
Brian is hardly the first person to make this a political rather than a scientific forum.
yeah, I remember when it was so so very important for liberals report that Ann Coulter was schtupping a black guy. Claim was later downgraded to Ann Coulter has picture taken with Jimmy Walker at the 5th Annual TV Land Awards, but that’s not a good enough reason for chatroom retractions.
Now what has any of this got to do with a Nobel Laureate (a real one – not a fake like Al Gore or Obama) resigning in disgust from the eco terrorist infested American Physical Society?
I vote Steven strike Brian’s scurrilous slur of Palin and all associated posts including this one from the record.
He must be part of the 3% that doesn’t want to profit from global warming related handouts. Shame on him.
I’m amazed…….
…….ok, let me clear that up
I’m not amazed Brian is a moron…
…I’m amazed he wants the whole world to know it
“…I’m amazed he wants the whole world to know it.”
Hey Latitude! You forget that 97% of self selected grant dependent attention and rent seeking ‘climate experts’ think Bri is a genius. So only 3% of the delusional world sees him as a moron.
I know, semantics…
That is the funniest video that Brian posted….
They photoshopped Rice’s shorts!………………..lol
I’m sure Rice is saying “well, the rumor about Palin is not true…..but’s that’s really me in the picture!”
