Myth of Consensus Explodes: APS Opens Global Warming Debate

"Considerable presence" of skeptics

The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming. The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science. The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming "incontrovertible."

I suppose there will be those Kool-Aid drinkers who will say that Physicists aren't Climate Scientists. Well, Climate Scientists are apparently a bunch of hacks who have to falsify data, or refuse to disclose data and methods, in order to keep their gravy train going.

The global climate is a physical system, physicists are the best qualified to refute the basics of the "global warming" hypothesis (It's not a theory since it has no supporting experimental or observed validation). In fact several of the tenets of "global warming" have been disproven (upper troposphere warming, for one), which invalidates the hypothesis. They need to go back to the drawing board, but physics won't let them.

Good for the APS for being brave enough to buck the consensus that never was.
