NOBEL PHYSICIST RESIGNS OVER CLIMATE CLAIMS, according to Fox News 14 September 2011 and International Business Times 15 September.
Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, and winner of the Nobel Prize in physics 1973, has resigned from the prestigious American Physics Society (APS) because he rejects their official stance on global warming. The society claims that the evidence for man-made global warming is “incontrovertible”. In his resignation letter Giaever wrote: “In the APS, it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? ... The (APS) claim is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this ‘warming’ period”.
