APS Opens Global Warming Debate

"Considerable presence" of skeptics

The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming. The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science. The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming "incontrovertible."
In a posting to the APS forum, editor Jeffrey Marque explains,"There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution."

Scientists changing their minds.

Many never support the IPCC report to begin with. Scientists were listed as supporters when all they did was review a portion of the document.

now if there was only a way for us to profit from them changing their minds... so does this mean we're in a phase of global cooling?

Actually, there are physicists who are predicting just that: a phase of slower sunspot activity which will result in cooler temperatures over the next ten years.

Alaska, for example, is already having a much cooler summer than for the past few years. And the residents aren't that happy about it. Global warming is not as bad as the High Church of Climate Change proclaims. During the Middle Ages, rising temperatures made farming more productive in Europe and resulted in ending famine (until the next cooling period).

it seems they're saying that there is global warming.....it's just that humans aren't the ones causing it.

Correct. It's caused by the sun. You know? That Ginormous Ball O'Fire around which the Earth orbits.

The Earth will go through natural cooling and warming cycles due to this Ginormous Ball O'Fire - when it stops is when it's time to really worry.

Something about celebrating when anyone gets packed off to hell?

You're not one that I would normally associate with anything but dogmatic religious attacks on others. And you're probably gay, too.
