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.
Professor Harold Lewis notes the circular problem of insisting that science guide policy; while politics guides the choice of science funding; and the need to maintain that politically guided funding skews the conclusions of the science.
But since this is all a matter of faith, science really doesn't enter into it, does it?
Now go and emit no more.
UPDATE: Reactions.
