Hal Lewis: My Resignation From The American Physical Society

Posted on 2010/10/08 by Dr. Ed

From: Hal Lewis, University of California, Santa Barbara

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

6 October 2010

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. Continue reading →

Ball: Ernst Georg Beck: A Major Contributor To Climate Science Effectively Sidelined By Climate Deceivers

Posted on 2010/09/27 by Dr. Ed

By Dr. Tim Ball Monday, September 27, 2010

I was saddened to hear that Ernst Georg Beck died after a battle with cancer. I was flattered when he asked me to review one of his early papers on the historic pattern of atmospheric CO2 and its relationship to global warming. I was struck by the precision, detail and perceptiveness of his work and urged its publication. I also warned him about the personal attacks and unscientific challenges he could expect. On 6 November 2009 he wrote to me, Continue reading →

This report is signed by over 700 scientists. Compare this to the only 52, only a few of whom were scientists, who authored the IPCC Summary Report.

Here are selected remarks from scientists: Continue reading →

Schmitt: Dominating Role Of Oceans In Climate Change

Posted on 2010/07/26 by Dr. Ed

by Harrison Schmitt

See Related Releases of February 22, July 2, 14, 19, and 24, 2010

The scientific rationale behind the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed massive intrusion into American life in the name of fighting climate change has no scientific or constitutional justification. This hard left excursion into socialism, fully supported by the Congressional Leadership and the President, has no basis in observational science as has been discussed previously relative to climate history, temperature, and carbon dioxide.

Schmitt: The Role Of Greenland And Antarctic Ice Cores In Climate Science

Posted on 2010/07/23 by Dr. Ed

by Harrison Schmitt

See Related Releases of February 22, July 2, 14, and 19, 2010.

Analysis of ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland play an important role in understanding the history of global temperatures and atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases and aerosols. Through analysis of dust, they also provide up to 800,000-year chronologies of global scale volcanic eruptions and major trends toward desertification. Clearly, data from ice cores play a critical underlying role in the science of climate change. Continue reading →

Schmitt: Global Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

Posted on 2010/07/19 by Dr. Ed

by Harrison Schmitt

See Related Releases of February 22, July 2, and 14 2010.

Given how little we actually know about climate, and particular the bogeyman called “carbon dioxide,” the President, the Environmental Protection Agency, Congress, and some ideological State governments and politically fearful corporations verge on choosing an extraordinarily dangerous path in attempting to stop natural change. The scientific rationale behind this proposed massive intrusion into American life requires more than a “consensus” of ideologically like-minded climate analysts and bureaucrats. Continue reading →

Schmitt: Global Temperature In Climate Change

Posted on 2010/07/14 by Dr. Ed

by Harrison Schmitt

Ten thousand years of natural, post-Ice Age climate variability should give pause to those who maintain that current slow global warming and carbon dioxide increases result largely from human use of fossil fuels.

Public confidence in that position also suffers from the exposure of fraudulent academic and bureaucratic behavior aimed at overriding normal processes of skeptical scientific review and debate. Continue reading →

Schmitt: The Central Role Of The Sun In Climate Change

Posted on 2010/07/10 by Dr. Ed

by Harrison Schmitt

Policy makers at the head of government in the United States and elsewhere apparently want to believe, and to have others believe, that human use of fossil fuels accelerates global warming.  They pursue this quest in order to impose ever greater and clearly unconstitutional control on the economy and personal liberty in the name of a hypothetically omnipotent government.  Continue reading →

Schmitt: National Academy has Conflict Of Interests In Study Of Global Climate Change

Posted on 2010/07/02 by Dr. Ed

by Harrison Schmitt

Extraordinarily complex natural processes underlie changes in the Earth’s climate. They represent decadal to millennial to epochal variations in weather patterns as nature continuously attempts to compensate for solar heating imbalances in and between the atmosphere, oceans, and landmasses.
