Harold Lewis
Harold W. Lewis is an Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara [1]. Lewis was active in the field of safety of nuclear power plants. [2] In 1975, Lewis chaired a year-long study of light-water reactor safety for the American Physical Society (APS). [3]
On October 8, 2010, Professor Lewis resigned from the American Physical Society. His resignation letter said, "the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare. (Montford's book organizes the facts very well.) 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." [4]
