Promoting integrity in the use of climate science in government

Thanks to Joe Romm and his excellent Climate Progress blog for exposing (also see follow-ups here and here) how the editor of the American Physical Society’s Forum on Physics and Society newsletter is acting essentially as an agent of the global warming disinformation campaign and in direct contradiction to the statement on anthropogenic climate change of the 46,000 member physicist’s organization—not to mention the formidable body of scientific evidence and analysis developed by the mainstream climate science community in the IPCC and other climate change assessments. Romm points out how the denial machine jumps into action (here and here) to seek to amplify the APS newsletter editor’s abuse of science. We hope the leadership of the APS will take appropriate action within its Forum on Physics and Society to protect the organization’s intellectual credibility.
