Global Warming - the American Physical Society speaks up
I have to think that it takes quite a bit of humility for an organization of this magnitude to change their mind.
I think it's really telling us something. Don't you?...

At DailyTech.com, Michael Asher discusses their change of stance:
"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.'"
