Ignorant conservatives exploit ABS misinformation on climate change
Kudos to the Captn, he caught it. Others continue to grasp at straws. What is this about the American Physical Society changing their position on Global Climate Change? Go to their website and find out:
APS Climate Change Statement
APS Position Remains Unchanged
The American Physical Society reaffirms the following position on climate change, adopted by its governing body, the APS Council, on November 18, 2007:
“Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth’s climate.”
An article at odds with this statement recently appeared in an online newsletter of the APS Forum on Physics and Society, one of 39 units of APS. The header of this newsletter carries the statement that “Opinions expressed are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the APS or of the Forum.” This newsletter is not a journal of the APS and it is not peer reviewed.
Actually, he didn’t catch it.
It is not the “forum” that has dissented, but merely one member .
So there is spin, and there is spin.
When I say toilet paper, that’s when they start rolling out.
It’s the editor of the forum, so there’s leeway that he represents the forum. Considering there’s no clamouring from the forum for his removal (yet), it seems he has support. In general it seems there’s a global retreat from the IPCC “consensus”, which itself is newsworthy. Although no news folks are picking up on it.
Oh goodness William. Grasping, aren’t you? I bet that guy is getting money from oil companies too. Right?
