Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist Resigns Over Global Warming
Published September 14, 2011

Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner
of the Nobel Prize in physics, abruptly announced his resignation
Tuesday, Sept. 13, from the premier physics society in disgust over its
officially stated policy that "global warming is occurring."The official position of the American Physical Society
(APS) supports the theory that man's actions have inexorably led to the
warming of the planet, through increased emissions of carbon dioxide.
Giaever does not agree -- and put it bluntly and succinctly in the subject line of his email, reprinted at Climate Depot, a website devoted to debunking the theory of man-made climate change.
"I resign from APS," Giaever wrote.
Giaever was cooled to the statement on warming theory by a line claiming that "the evidence is incontrovertible."
"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?" he wrote in an
email to Kate Kirby, executive officer of the physics society."The 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 is that the temperature has been amazingly stable,
and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this
'warming' period," his email message said.
