Another scientist falls off the AGW bandwagon.

Is it my imagination, or are the skeptics almost always physicists in their 80s?

They have free time and no doubt they are wicked smart, but you notice they never say "I personally crunched the data....." possibly because they never learned to use a computer?

This guy won a Nobel Prize, 40 years ago, which makes him 80 something. Maybe the headline should say "Nobel Prize winner in physics can't handle large data set!"

And then there's this guy who called "Climategate" a huge fraud and in 6 months had died of old age. I bet he had lots of interesting opinions!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')n October 2010, the APS suffered more scientific woes when another one of its prominent physicists resigned. The late Physicist Hal Lewis, who died in May of 2011, excoriated the APS leadership for its strict dogmatic like adherence to man-made global warming beliefs. See: Prominent Physicist Resigns: 'Climategate was a fraud on a scale I have never seen...Effect on APS position: None. None at all. This is not science' & See: Prominent Physicist Resigns From American Physical Society: 'Global warming is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life' -- APS President Curtis Callan 'seems to have abandoned most ethical principles...APS has become a corrupt organization' & see: APS responds to resignation of Dr. Hal Lewis -- AND Dr. Lewis Responds Back To APS!

Oh my! Another scientist joins the incredibly small minority of man-made global warming deniers. Well then I guess we need to make some major changes because that would also imply that the earth IS flat, a deity DID create the world in seven days, and smoking is NOT bad for you.

What a waste of time. I think it'd be more useful to talk about mitigation strategies [if there are any] that people can perform at a personal or local village level. For example, are there more hardy versions of popular fruits and veggies that will withstand more extreme temperatures and wetter/dryer conditions? Or are there types of housing that will be cooler?

[PrestonSturges]

Well you could run all sorts of statistics on deniers by profession and especially age.

It would make a nice letter to Nature.

[peeker01]

You should do that Preston.

boy is that a dodgey list

sure glad those electrical engineers signed on

makes me feel real confident about the validity of that project

and I don't believe in global warming
because AL Gore leaves his damn porch light on ALL day

[PrestonSturges]

I seems like the denier list will keep growing because they keep the names on the role even after they die of old age. I guess they denying from the afterlife.

That would be another amusing statistic - probability that being a denier means you are dead. You could "prove" that being a denier kills you (ignoring the covariate of age).

[peeker01]

You guys are going to fall hard when this nonsense collapses. AGW is done.

Here's the petition of deniers

http://www.petitionproject.org/qualific ... igners.php

About half are engineers, who tend to be very conservative politically.

Statistician are only 0.3%, which is amazing considering how belligerent they can be.

People with food science backgrounds are 0.2%

[peeker01]

Come on guys, give it a rest. Lot's of deniers, so little time.

[Keith_McClary]

There are also physicists and engineers who are skeptical of the 9/11 Commission. I don't think the the APS or the IEEE have taken a position on this - the Commission didn't ask for their opinions.
