    Gee that's an old link.

    The letter writer mentioned died in 2011 a few months after his letter was published.
    Harold Lewis

    In a letter dated 6 October 2010, Lewis wrote to Curtis Callan, President of the American Physical Society (APS), resigning from the society.
    Lewis said that he had joined the APS 67 years previously, when it was "as yet uncorrupted by the money flood" which he said had "become the raison d’être of much physics research, the vital sustenance of much more, and it provides the support for untold numbers of professional jobs.

    " In his view, it was "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.

    " For evidence, he recommended reading "the ClimateGate documents" as set out by Montford’s book The Hockey Stick Illusion.[11] This letter of resignation was made public, and "Lewis was vaulted to celebrity status by conservative and contrarian Web sites and commentators".[10] On 12 October, the Global Warming Policy Foundation announced that Lewis had agreed to join their "Academic Advisory Council".[12]

    On 12 October the APS issued a statement that there was no truth in Lewis's accusations;
    it pointed out that the vast majority of its membership works in areas not dealing with climate change, and its policy statements were developed in accordance with strict ethical standards.[13]

    The APS completely rejected Lewis's claims of "scam" and "fraud", stating that virtually all reputable scientists were agreed on observations of human caused global warming.
    In a personal reply, Callan criticized Lewis's disrespectful allegations about colleagues. Responding to complaints Lewis raised alleging rejection of a petition for a Topical Group on Climate Science, Callan said the proposal had been accepted and was being implemented, but unfortunately Lewis had decided to resign rather than participate.
