Hal Lewis: My Resignation From The American Physical Society – an important moment in science history
WUWT

....It looks like it is getting ugly inside with the public airing of the resignation of a very prominent member who writes:

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.
…
In the interim the ClimateGate scandal broke into the news, and the machinations of the principal alarmists were revealed to the world. It was a fraud on a scale I have never seen, and I lack the words to describe its enormity. Effect on the APS position: none. None at all. This is not science; other forces are at work.- Hal Lewis
Below is his resignation letter made public today, via the GWPF.

This is an important moment in science history. I would describe it as a letter on the scale of Martin Luther, nailing his 95 theses to the Wittenburg church door. ....

The question left unanswered - What was the real agenda of AGW?

And those scientists who have been picking up pay checks from Big Oil while they trash AGW are different in exactly what way? How is that is ok, yet when complaints are made of the same thing going on on the other side it's like, all Martin Luther and stuff?

sad to see an old man sell his soul to an industry front group for thirty pieces of silver.

(you might want to investigate the GWPF.)
