An outpouring of skeptical scientists who are members of the American Chemical Society (ACS) are revolting against the group’s editor-in-chief — with some demanding he be removed — after an editorial appeared claiming “the science of anthropogenic climate change is becoming increasingly well established.”Läs allt på Climate Depot.
The editorial claimed the “consensus” view was growing “increasingly difficult to challenge, despite the efforts of diehard climate-change deniers.” The editor now admits he is “startled” by the negative reaction from the group’s scientific members. The American Chemical Society bills itself as the “world’s largest scientific society.”
The June 22, 2009 editorial in Chemical and Engineering News by editor in chief Rudy Baum, is facing widespread blowback and condemnation from American Chemical Society member scientists. Baum concluded his editorial by stating that “deniers” are attempting to “derail meaningful efforts to respond to global climate change.”
Dozens of letters from ACS members were published on July 27, 2009 castigating Baum, with some scientists calling for his replacement as editor-in-chief.
The editorial was met with a swift, passionate and scientific rebuke from Baum’s colleagues. Virtually all of the letters published on July 27 in castigated Baum’s climate science views. Scientists rebuked Baum’s use of the word “deniers” because of the terms “association with Holocaust deniers.” In addition, the scientists called Baum’s editorial: “disgusting”; “a disgrace”; “filled with misinformation”; “unworthy of a scientific periodical” and “pap.”
One outraged ACS member wrote to Baum: “When all is said and done, and you and your kind are proven wrong (again), you will have moved on to be an unthinking urn for another rat pleading catastrophe. You will be removed. I promise.”

I Anthony Watts post om detta skrev signaturen Smokey denna kommentar, apropå förslag om vilken position American Chemical Society bör ta:
AGW does not have to be disproved by skeptics. Rather, the purveyors of the CO2=AGW hypothesis must be able to falsify the long accepted theory of natural climate variability.
Otherwise, mainstream theorists would have to falsify every crackpot hypothesis that comes along. It would be like saying that I have a hypothesis that gravity will reverse, and we will all fly off the Earth.
It’s not up to the mainstream scientists who accept the theory of gravity to disprove every wacky hypothesis. It is up to the promoters of the AGW hypothesis to falsify the theory of natural climate change. So far, they have failed.
Ja, CO2- och temperaturdata saknar över olika tidsintervall korrelation indikerande orsak-verkan-koppling där CO2 styr temperatur. Man har hänvisat till en konstruktion med olika påverkansfaktorer förklarande temperaturnedgång 1945 till 1975-talet och temperaturuppgång mellan 1975 och 2000. Men i den söker man inte ens förklara likartad temperaturvariation före 1945 (som man f ö sökte eliminera i fusk-temperaturgrafen "hockeyklubban") och den förlorade i trovärdighet när dessa förändringar knöts till oscillation i cykliska mönster av havsströmmar, särskilt PDO, liksom när empiri visade annan påverkan av stoftpartiklar än man angett.

Noterade denna presentation av DN-artikel. När jag var liten skulle man tänka på svältande barn i Afrika. Även om jag inte förstod hur de räddades av att jag åt upp den sista smulan antar jag ändå att det fanns humanism där. Detta mer Huxleys sköna nya värld. Smått fascistisk?
