Another Global Warming victim

Last year we saw the spectacular resignation letter of the late Hal Lewis, ending his half century affiliation with the American Physical Society (APS) over their support for the theory of Anthropogenic Warming (AGW).
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.
Dr. Lewis is now joined by Nobel Laureate Physicist Ivar Giaever, who has told the APS that he is resigning over their (in his mind) insupportable support for AGW:
In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible? The claim (how can you measure the average temperature of the whole earth for a whole year?) is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this ‘warming’ period.
Clearly, Dr. Giaever didn't get the memo that the Science is Settled®.  He obviously is anti-Science, and must be some sort of Rethuglian Enemy Of The State Denier.

Welcome to the club, Dr. Giaver.

Seriously, can the last scientist to leave the APS please turn out the lights?  We're trying to be Green and everything.

And can every Progressive who ever yapped about the "Republican War On Science" please shut up and sit down in the back of the room?  Grown ups are talking here.

And rest in Peace, Dr. Hal Lewis.
