April 14, 2014 - 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 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.

Sent: Friday, 08 October 2010 17:19 Hal Lewis

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. 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 commit

tee, 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…

I do feel the need to add one note, and this is conjecture, since it is always risky to discuss other people’s motives. This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don’t think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club.

In my opinion, they want to push this scam in order to collect carbon taxes and thus formalize chemtrails (pay taxes to spray us) as technological measures to combat global warming.

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. For example:

1. About a year ago a few of us sent an e-mail on the subject to a fraction of the membership. APS ignored the issues, but the then President immediately launched a hostile investigation of where we got the e-mail addresses. In its better days, APS used to encourage discussion of important issues, and indeed the Constitution cites that as its principal purpose. No more. Everything that has been done in the last year has been designed to silence debate

2. The appallingly tendentious APS statement on Climate Change was apparently written in a hurry by a few people over lunch, and is certainly not representative of the talents of APS members as I have long known them. So a few of us petitioned the Council to reconsider it. One of the outstanding marks of (in)distinction in the Statement was the poison word incontrovertible, which describes few items in physics, certainly not this one. In response APS appointed a secret committee that never met, never troubled to speak to any skeptics, yet endorsed the Statement in its entirety. (They did admit that the tone was a bit strong, but amazingly kept the poison word incontrovertible to describe the evidence, a position supported by no one.) In the end, the Council kept the original statement, word for word, but approved a far longer “explanatory” screed, admitting that there were uncertainties, but brushing them aside to give blanket approval to the original. The original Statement, which still stands as the APS position, also contains what I consider pompous and asinine advice to all world governments, as if the APS were master of the universe. It is not, and I am embarrassed that our leaders seem to think it is. This is not fun and games, these are serious matters involving vast fractions of our national substance, and the reputation of the Society as a scientific society is at stake.

3. In the interim the ClimateGate scandal broke into the news, and the machinations of the principal alarmists were revealed to the world. It was a fraud on a scale I have never seen, and I lack the words to describe its enormity. Effect on the APS position: none. None at all. This is not science; other forces are at work.

4. So a few of us tried to bring science into the act (that is, after all, the alleged and historic purpose of APS), and collected the necessary 200+ signatures to bring to the Council a proposal for a Topical Group on Climate Science, thinking that open discussion of the scientific issues, in the best tradition of physics, would be beneficial to all, and also a contribution to the nation. I might note that it was not easy to collect the signatures, since you denied us the use of the APS membership list. We conformed in every way with the requirements of the APS Constitution, and described in great detail what we had in mind—simply to bring the subject into the open.

5. To our amazement, Constitution be damned, you declined to accept our petition, but instead used your own control of the mailing list to run a poll on the members’ interest in a TG on Climate and the Environment. You did ask the members if they would sign a petition to form a TG on your yet-to-be-defined subject, but provided no petition, and got lots of affirmative responses. (If you had asked about sex you would have gotten more expressions of interest.) There was of course no such petition or proposal, and you have now dropped the Environment part, so the whole matter is moot. (Any lawyer will tell you that you cannot collect signatures on a vague petition, and then fill in whatever you like.) The entire purpose of this exercise was to avoid your constitutional responsibility to take our petition to the Council.

6. As of now you have formed still another secret and stacked committee to organize your own TG, simply ignoring our lawful petition.

APS management has gamed the problem from the beginning, to suppress serious conversation about the merits of the climate change claims. Do you wonder that I have lost confidence in the organization?

I do feel the need to add one note, and this is conjecture, since it is always risky to discuss other people’s motives. This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don’t think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club. Your own Physics Department (of which you are chairman) would lose millions a year if the global warming bubble burst. When Penn State absolved Mike Mann of wrongdoing, and the University of East Anglia did the same for Phil Jones, they cannot have been unaware of the financial penalty for doing otherwise. As the old saying goes, you don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing. Since I am no philosopher, I’m not going to explore at just which point enlightened self-interest crosses the line into corruption, but a careful reading of the ClimateGate releases makes it clear that this is not an academic question.

I want no part of it, so please accept my resignation. APS no longer represents me, but I hope we are still friends.

Hal

thank you buares .

[Tesla_WTC_Solution]

Even if it's not a scam, it's a distraction diverting money away from changing human lives. :(

[Matt P]

This is a wonderful story and I am very happy for Dr. Lewis and hope this leads to more of his colleagues admitting the truth.
Not to rain on his parade but I would absolutely have to ask and love to know:
What the hell took so long?!
Then I've got lots more questions....

Matt

[edit: the date of Dr. Lewis' resignation did not change the relevance of my question, by the way]

[Matt P]

Yes, Tesla, the global warming scam is a distraction. It's purpose was to make money, consolidate power globally and further repress the rights of the people of the world. But what did it distract our attention from? I believe from the real and true threats to this planet and it's ability to sustain our lives. This is what has worried me during the years of this scam; that we were wasting precious time by being prevented from focusing the people of the world on the real threats. Most PA members will know well what those threats are. I look forward to the time we can put the global warming/climate change myth completely to bed and get to the real issues.

Climate Change is more accurate , the thinking patterns of human beings affects the climate/nature ... negative energy promotes negative results ... Earth is full of corruption , War , and Death ... people wonder why the weather patterns are crazy ... Hello , thoughts and actions influence reality ...

[Wind]

Climate scam and Agenda 21, it's all about resources and money. Of course there is a real climate change happening in this solar system due to the energy arriving from "elsewhere", but it has nothing to do with carbon emissions... But then again the severity of the changes has everything to do with collective human emotions. The more we are out of balance, the more we will experience severe earth changes like earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes. Not forgetting the imminent mini ice age...

So in short, think positive. :rolleyes:

[rgray222]

The media and many politicians are in lock step on the issue of global warming/climate change. There has not been any honest debate or open discussion on the issue. How many times have we heard politicians say or the media write that virtually "all" scientist agree on global warming, the implication is that it's not open for discussion. When you read articles in the mainstream media you have to look at their choice of words carefully, they will always say..............global warming "may" be the cause of.......................or climate change "might" be caused by. The dishonesty and deception is very deep and well orchestrated.

Politicians saw it as a cause that many people could rally around and they could collect a carbon tax on the weather. A new never ending stream of revenue, political and financial nirvana is how they perceived it. Universities/organizations and corporations refuse to kill the golden goose which they now call climate change.

When politicians or people like Hal Lewis finally step off the money train is when we finally get some honesty. At least a few with a conscious will speak the truth. The sad part is that many people still believe what they read in the mainstream media and as long as the media prints this stuff they will just go on believing it without questioning it!

[Tesla_WTC_Solution]

I hope some vaccine scientists step down and speak out like this dude did btw.

How many more 1/60 kids needs to be messed up anyhow?

[Mixteca]

Twenty years ago, when I was a student at UCI, our professor talked about climate change. He talked about the most likely effects if things didn't change quickly. All these years later, every single prediction he made has not only happened, it happened much more quickly than predicted by the mathematical models of the time.

Large chunks of the ice cap are calving much, much earlier than predicted. The core temperature of the oceans is warming at an alarming rate. Plant and animal species right now in many tropical regions with very narrow habitats have to be able to move an average of 30 feet a day to survive.

The greatest threats to the health and safety of the poorest people on this planet come from these changes and changes in water supply, which has been the originating source of much of the conflict around the globe.

We have poured toxins and pollutants into our air, water and earth at unprecedented levels.

Several indigenous groups such as the Mayans have been trying to warn the global community about this since the 1920s. They have been trying to educate the UN about this matter since the late 1970s.

To think this will have no effect just makes no sense whatsoever to me.

To think that you can pour toxins into a closed planetary system with no effect baffles me.

It is like saying that you can live on top of the radioactive waste of Chernobyl and have no effect on your health. Or put heavy metals and toxins directly into the human brain and effect no negative effects.

And it risks the lives and well-being of the poorest and most defenseless people on the planet.

[Matt P]

Mixteca, climate has always changed. The earth is always in a process of moving from one state to another. Climate "change" is simply normal activity. What we need to be careful of is saying global trends are being caused by man, without then publicly admitting and debating the influence of weather modification activities that are being conducted around the world. Yes, we are an impact but how much of that is on purpose and how much is natural? You are right about the fact we are destroying the environment with our chemicals and pollution and cutting of forests and other destruction of natural habitat and other activities. THIS is the environmental issue that Global Warming has prevented us from addressing these last many years. And, of course, you cannot have a discussion of pollution without also discussing the energy technologies that are being withheld from us that could alleviate these problems. We could end the use of nuclear, oil, gas, coal and hydroelectric damming overnight and do much to end our environmental destruction.

[panpravda]

The AGW (Anthropogenic [man-made] Global Warming) scam is just one more example of the corrupt model that is in play across many areas of scientific research these days. As Tesla has already mentioned; what about the behaviour of scientists in pharmaceutical companies? For me, however, the field of scientific research closest to my heart, one which has suffered for so long in exactly the same ways as we see now with climate science, is the fairy-tale physics and mathematics that is being funded by the public purse and represented to the world as respectable, believable cosmology: the science of how our universe works. Big Bang, black holes, thermonuclear stars, the force of gravity rules everything, everywhere, etc. etc.

Many people have no time for this idea, they think they already know enough, but I strongly suggest to those who are even moderately interested that they should look closely, not briefly, and consider what is being proposed by sound science and respectable scientists who are just as disillusioned with mainstream cosmology as is Prof Hal Lewis with the antics of the APS. Look here; read, consider and ask questions ... The Thunderbolts Project (http://www.thunderbolts.info)

And as one single example of the connection that exists between the theories at the heart of the aforementioned Thunderbolts Project and how Earth's climate is really being affected, have a look at Ben Davidson's website suspicious0bservers.org (http://www.suspicious0bservers.org)

In respect to these areas of science, what theoretical astro-physicists and mathemagicians, and here, the compliant climate pseudo-scientists have all resolutely failed to take into account - often in full knowledge of its relevance but for self-interested reasons - is the reality of the electromagnetic force's all-pervasive influence throughout our universe, but in terms of our changing climate and weather patterns, its electrical charge effects on our upper atmosphere from the so-called solar wind.

[Ahnung-quay]

I second panpravda's suggestions. I watch Ben Davidson's weather report every morning and I've been following the Thunderbolts project for a couple of years now.

There is a more sinister goal behind the global warming model and that is to make the citizen feel guilty and pay a carbon tax for something that they are not even responsible for. Where are the hydro cars, the 300 mpg cars, the free energy devices, the wind and solar technology at a reasonable cost for the average home,green building techniques that should be mandatory on new construction? Why aren't the corporations, the real monsters under our beds, being targeted and made to clean up their acts? Is the underlying goal really control of the people?

For years I've been turning my heat down and my lights off, switching to led light bulbs, driving four cylinder cars, eating leftovers, recycling, being conscious of my water use, using phosphate free cleaning products, .... and I'm supposed to feel guilty about global warming? I don't think so.

By the way the South Polar cap is presently making ice.

[Wind]

Ben's presentation is well worth spreading... ICPP most probably doesn't like him.
