The global warming theory left him out in the cold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, abruptly announced his resignation Tuesday, Sept. 13, from the premier physics society in disgust over its officially stated policy that “global warming is occurring.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0official position of the American Physical Society<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(APS) supports the theory that man’s actions have inexorably led to the warming of the planet, through increased emissions of carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n

Giaever does not agree — and put it bluntly and succinctly in the subject line of his email,\u00a0reprinted at Climate Depot<\/span><\/a>, a website devoted to debunking the theory of man-made climate change.<\/p>\n

“I resign from APS,” Giaever wrote.<\/p>\n

Giaever was cooled to the statement on warming theory by a line claiming that “the evidence is inconvertible.”<\/p>\n

“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?” he wrote in an email to Kate Kirby, executive officer of the physics society.<\/p>\n

“The claim \u2026 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,” his email message said.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the APS confirmed to\u00a0FoxNews.com<\/a>\u00a0that the Nobel Laureate had declined to pay his annual dues in the society and had resigned. He also noted that the society had no plans to revise its statement.<\/p>\n

The use of the word “incontrovertible” had already caused debate within the group, so much so that an addendum was added to the statement discussing its use in April, 2010.<\/p>\n

“The word ‘incontrovertible’ … is rarely used in science because by its very nature, science questions prevailing ideas. The observational data indicate a global surface warming of 0.74 \u00b0C (+\/- 0.18 \u00b0C) since the late 19th century.”<\/p>\n

Giaever earned his Nobel for his experimental discoveries regarding tunneling phenomena in superconductors. He has since become a vocal dissenter from the alleged \u201cconsensus\u201d regarding man-made climate fears, Climate Depot reported, noting that he was one of more than 100 co-signer of a 2009 letter to\u00a0President Obama<\/span><\/a>\u00a0critical of his position on climate change.<\/p>\n

Public perception of climate change has steadily fallen since late 2009. A\u00a0Rasmussen Reports<\/span><\/a>\u00a0public opinion poll from August noted that 57 percent of adults believe there is significant disagreement within the scientific community on global warming, up five points from late 2009.<\/p>\n

The same study showed that 69 percent of those polled believe it\u2019s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs. Just just 6 percent felt confident enough to report that such falsification was “not at all likely.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
