American Physical Society and Monckton at odds over paper

American Physical Society and Monckton at odds over paper « Watts Up With That?

Monckton’s demand for redress and an apology from the APS is being picked up on the internet.

How will the American Physical Society respond to Lord Monckton’s procedural and scientific gauntlets?

As of noon on Saturday July [19], 2008, the offending paragraph in the table of contents had been removed. However, this offending paragraph was still very much evident in Monckton’s paper Climate Sensitivity Revisited. It was also evident in the Forum’s full PDF of its July, 2008 newsletter Physics and Society Vol 37, No 3, p 6.

The APS’s PeerGate scandal may well prove to provide much greater publicity and serious examination of Monckton’s thesis than if the disclaimers had never been posted. It also exposes the superficiality of statements by executives of the American Physical Society and other scientific organizations supporting the IPCC’s global warming. Those statements were typically not submitted to the rank and file for scientific peer review, nor were they typically voted on by the rank and file. Whatever will come out of this PeerGate Scandal?
