And he was an Obama supporter. Good for Dr. Giaever for sticking with science instead of selling out for politically driven agendas!

Climate Depot Exclusive
Nobel prize winner for physics in 1973 Dr. Ivar Giaever resigned as a Fellow from the American Physical Society (APS) on September 13, 2011 in disgust over the group's promotion of man-made global warming fears. Climate Depot has obtained the exclusive email Giaever sent titled "I resign from APS" to APS Executive Officer Kate Kirby to announce his formal resignation.

Dr. Giaever wrote to Kirby of APS: “Thank you for your letter inquiring about my membership. I did not renew it because I cannot live with the (APS) statement below (on global warming): APS: 'The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth's physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.'

Hmmm

One member leaves. Forty Eight Thousand remain.

You lose.

Seems he was more upset about the use of the word "incontrovertible" then anything else.



“The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.”
(my second favorite Churchill quote, the first being "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.")

Giaever's letter? Propaganda? Not at all.

A little whiny, perhaps. But not propaganda.

Care to actually comment of Dr. Gaiever's statement? Or, are you of the opinion that once science agrees with your politics that it becomes incontrovertible?
