>Scientific Consensus About Global Warming Takes Another Big Hit

>Change of Heart

>An organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists has reversed its
>stance on climate change. The American Physical Society now says that
>many of its members no longer believe global warming is caused by
>humans.
>
>The Society previously declared: "The evidence is incontrovertible.
>Global warming is occurring." But the Society now says there is no
>scientific consensus to support that statement: "There is a
>considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do
>not agree with the intergovernmental panel on climate change conclusion
>that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are likely to be primarily responsible
>for global warming."

>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newsletter is not a journal of the APS and it is not peer reviewed.
