Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist Resigns Over Global Warming

[PapaG]

This knocks the percentage down to 96.99999% of "climate scientists".

The global warming theory left him out in the cold.

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.

soooo everyone to ever win the nobel prize deserved it? is an authority to be taken seriously?

Ask Paul Krugman.

Actually, it doesn't, because this guy (a) isn't a climate scientist, (b) is 82 and not an active researcher, and (c) was already a known denier.

97% of scientists polled on AGW aren't climate scientists.

 

[barfo]

97% of scientists polled on AGW aren't climate scientists.

I'm sure that's probably literally true, but it is also irrelevant, since no one mentioned a poll of scientists generally.
The 97% of scientists that the original post refers to were in fact climate scientists.

There aren't many climate scientists.

 

[barfo]

There aren't many climate scientists.

And probably none named Rumplestiltskin. What's your point?

Hey Barfo, want to argue about semantics? That should be fun, and something different.

I'm not arguing about semantics. I'm asking Denny what his point was about the number of climate scientists.

The clue here is the question "What's your point?". That suggests that I'm asking what his point is.

Now, what's your point?

I don't really give a crap about what any so-called climate scientist says about so-called global warming.

That said, i still think it's prudent, and good earthly stewardship to be aware of, and make attempts to reduce, my so-called carbon footprint.

Right. Let's see...

Yeah, you totally don't argue semantics. You should start doing the "Official PapaG semantic argument closer" of:

 

[3RA1N1AC]

you are arguing semantics about an semantic argument argument, wow

Actually...

I'm beginning to suspect you don't know the definition of the word 'semantics'.

You're right. Do you think the interwebz would know?

You almost had to use the Internet Forum Trump Card of "you can't read!"

 

[3RA1N1AC]

huh?

He was a professor where? Is that a 4-year or a 2-year college? Is that the correspondence school I always see advertising its art lessons?

So the old skull who was old in 1973 has gone senile and quit his science club to save on dues. He didn't quit a job, which would have cost him money. Big sacrifice compared to a real whistleblower. Did he quit to join the Flat Earth Society?

Speaking of what his job is now, I bet the poor old stooping guy strongly believes in Social Security and Medicare. A real modern Republican hero.

Here you go, here's real corruption for you. The City of Seattle is openly offering a bribe to a victim of the police, and a separate bribe to his lawyer, to reverse a lawsuit that has already been settled by a judge.
