ClimateFaith™ Loses a Physicist

In my ongoing questioning of all things unquestionable and taboo to question - and having few friends because of it - I continue to simply ask questions. One of those most taboo of subjects is ClimateFaith™ - the blind obsession with the idea that mankind has single-handedly ruined the earth and the thin bubble of oxygen that contains all of our stuff. Sure, we're messing it up faster than Gia Earth can clean up after us -- but our obsession with ruining all society and economic systems and also promoting eugenics to "save the planet" seems a tad bit extreme to me... and the blind faith that mimics organized religion. There's also a lot of money in this religion. It seems there is a new voice speaking up over the question of the blind ClimateFaith™ movement.

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.

Read the rest for his reasons. And then there’s a reply of sorts. On the other hand, there's this one...
