Except most governments are not interested in cutting down pollution, they are primarily(only?) interested in taxing CO2 which is NOT a primary pollutant. What happened to carbon monoxide, sulfer dioxide, dumping raw sewage into waterways, burying nuclear waste into mountains, using depleted uranium for military purposes, etc..?

Face it, it was a scam and they got caught red handed!

If governments were not at least a little concerned about pollution, then why do they have restrictions on the output of car exhausts? Why do they force you to get smog checks? Why does the EPA force car manufacturers to put catalytic converters on their vehicles to reduce carbon monoxide levels?

I do agree people do just want money. But to say nobody is interested in reducing pollution is a lie.

That's not climate change. That's carbon credits. They are not the same thing. not at all.

climate change is documented and real. You can prop up random 'scientists' all you want, it only makes you ignoring the majority of them that much more obvious.

do me a favor, if your going to deny science, dont try and use science to prove your denial.

So this shouldn't matter anyway - because if there really is no "scientific consensus" on global warming, who cares what the council says - Hal's petition is what really matters, right?


So let's go ask those 47,000 or so scientists that had an opportunity to sign it:

Only 0.45% of Physicists sign Denier Petition

Yes that's right - out of 47,000 possible respondents: a whopping 206 of them put their name to this crucial document. And as the link above points out - this amounts to 0.45%, which coincidentally is roughly the same number of people who fall for Nigerian email scams. Weird huh!

Because to be fair - I see in his resignation letter Hal implies that the 200 signatures were just acquired to meet some bare minimum requirement to bring the proposal before council, because it was "not easy to collect the signatures, since you denied us the use of the APS membership list". This is kind of an odd thing to complain about considering earlier in the letter he complains about getting reprimanded for already having access to and emailing some portion of that membership list, but whatever - moving on...



Oh yea and all 47,000 were climate experts and into this thing neck deep.

And the APS member list he is complaining that not only did he get reprimanded for using some part of the list that hes denied a total list. Bunch of control freeks want to squelch all dissent. Its certain that his partial list was not given to him by request but were part of some other list with known members.

And he didnt do bad with that list getting what 200 signatures. Wonder how big that list was. He certainly feels that if he had the whole list that he could show large type dissent. Are you certain that all 47,000 got to look at this or just those on the short list?

They're not squelching his dissent actually. He can believe whatever he wants, but HE TRIED to reverse APS' position on global warming and failed.

Don't try to change it up, please...

But he is...........Harold Lewis is Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, former Chairman; Former member Defense Science Board, chmn of Technology panel; Chairman DSB study on Nuclear Winter; Former member Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards; Former member, President’s Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee; Chairman APS study on Nuclear Reactor Safety Chairman Risk Assessment Review Group; Co-founder and former Chairman of JASON; Former member USAF Scientific Advisory Board; Served in US Navy in WW II; books: Technological Risk (about, surprise, technological risk) and Why Flip a Coin (about decision making)






And nowhere on this list of credentials do I see climatologist, geochemist or geologist. Learn the full story about this guy before you start jumping to any conclusions and waving your "science is fraud" flags.

I think that "global warming" phenomena MAY be a scam...

HOWEVER

It is absolutely clear that we NEED to find cleaner, cheaper, energy. What Oil does to the environment is terrible.
Same same other toxins being dumped throughout the world. Industrial waste.
They might not destroy the planet as a habitual place, but it will make it a very dry and lifeless planet, with less trees, less animals, and more birth disease.

I like seeing trees. I like seeing animals. I like seeing clean water. I like seeing living land. I like seeing life.
