As reported by the Gateway Pundit: Top US scientist Hal Lewis resigned this week from his post at the University of California at Santa Barbara. He admitted global warming ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h climate change was nothing but a scam in his resignation letter.

From the Telegraph (because for some reason the Liberal Media here in the U.S don’t like this stuff getting out).

The following is a letter to the American Physical Society released to the public by Professor Emeritus of physics Hal Lewis of the University of California at Santa Barbara.

To: Curtis G. Callan, Jr., Princeton University, President of the American Physical Society

Dear Curt:

When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which Dwight Eisenhower warned a half-century ago).

Indeed, the choice of physics as a profession was then a guarantor of a life of poverty and abstinence—it was World War II that changed all that. The prospect of worldly gain drove few physicists. As recently as thirty-five years ago, when I chaired the first APS study of a contentious social/scientific issue, The Reactor Safety Study, though there were zealots aplenty on the outside there was no hint of inordinate pressure on us as physicists. We were therefore able to produce what I believe was and is an honest appraisal of the situation at that time. We were further enabled by the presence of an oversight committee consisting of Pief Panofsky, Vicki Weisskopf, and Hans Bethe, all towering physicists beyond reproach. I was proud of what we did in a charged atmosphere. In the end the oversight committee, in its report to the APS President, noted the complete independence in which we did the job, and predicted that the report would be attacked from both sides. What greater tribute could there be?

How different it is now. The giants 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.

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.

So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm, and gone along with it…

Let's look at a related example.... We've seen Doctors refuse to vaccinate patients. They had claimed vaccines don't work and are more dangerous to the patients. Yet we've seen with the advent of vaccines the removal of the imparment and death that came with childhood illnesses, an important one was the elimination of smallpox. Clearly these Doctors are wrong on the science and their actions then become one of politic.

Don't forget smart people can be wrong. Take the case of Linus Pauling as an example. He greatly contributed to molecular biology. He then claimed Vitamin C would cure Cancer and died with his elderly years being this wacky pseudoscientist. Though Pauling was one better than Hal Lewis. Professor Emeritus Hal Lewis, as his title was on the resignation, is indicative that he's retired 'Emeritus' do we actually see scientific work he's produced on the question of climate? Well no.

We can't take one quitter's word as the holy bible on the subject. There's quitters in either direction on most any science all the time. That, as any, politic doesn't hold any value to the validity, or non-validity, of the scientific endeavor. I'm not commenting if he's right or wrong. I am commenting that the event itself has no sway to scientifically understanding the climate.

Science and it's built in skepticism will continue it's endeavor for understanding. It's only with time that this event will end up being accepted as another anti-Global Warmist or the Global Cooling equivalent of Martin Luther.

how is one guy Retiring "proof" that climate change is not happening?

how about some actual proof instead of wishful nonthinking
