Hal Lewis, a top US scientist resigned from his position at the
University of California admitting that global warming was actually a
scam, this was stated in his resignation letter according to the Telegraph

To: Curtis G. Callan, Jr., Princeton University, President of the
American Physical Society
6 October 2010

Dear Curt:

When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago
it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money
flood (a threat against which Dwight Eisenhower warned a half-century ago).

Indeed, the choice of physics as a profession was then a guarantor of a
life of poverty and abstinence – it was World War II that changed all
that. The prospect of worldly gain drove few physicists. As recently as
thirty-five years ago, when I chaired the first APS study of a
contentious social/scientific issue, The Reactor Safety Study, though
there were zealots aplenty on the outside there was no hint of
inordinate pressure on us as physicists. We were therefore able to
produce what I believe was and is an honest appraisal of the situation
at that time. We were further enabled by the presence of an oversight
committee consisting of Pief Panofsky, Vicki Weisskopf, and Hans Bethe,
all towering physicists beyond reproach. I was proud of what we did in a
charged atmosphere. In the end the oversight committee, in its report to
the APS President, noted the complete independence in which we did the
job, and predicted that the report would be attacked from both sides.
What greater tribute could there be?

How different it is now. The giants no longer walk the earth, and the
money flood has become the raison d’être of much physics research, the
vital sustenance of much more, and it provides the support for untold
numbers of professional jobs. For reasons that will soon become clear my
former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into
shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my
resignation from the Society.

It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions
of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has
carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most
successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a
physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should
force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare.
(Montford’s book organizes the facts very well.) I don’t believe that
any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without
revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word
scientist.

So what has the APS, as an organization, done in the face of this
challenge? It has accepted the corruption as the norm and gone along
with it…

I do feel the need to add one note, and this is conjecture, since it is
always risky to discuss other people’s motives. This scheming at APS HQ
is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some
have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to
be, but I don’t think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly
what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed
trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and
frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club.
