全球變暖理論遺下他被冷落。
Dr. Ivar Giaever, a former professor with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the 1973 winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, abruptly announced his resignation Tuesday, Sept. 13, from the premier physics society in disgust over its officially stated policy that "global warming is occurring."
伊瓦Giaever博士，一位倫斯勒理工學院前教授和1973年諾貝爾物理學獎得主，突然地在9月13日星期二宣布他從首要的物理學會辭職，在厭惡它正式聲明的政策，即“全球變暖正在發生。“
The official position of the American Physical Society (APS) supports the theory that man's actions have inexorably led to the warming of the planet, through increased emissions of carbon dioxide.
美國物理學會（APS）的官方立場支持該理論，人的行為通過在二氧化碳排放的增加，已無情地導致地球變暖。
Giaever does not agree -- and put it bluntly and succinctly in the subject line of his email, reprinted at Climate Depot, a website devoted to debunking the theory of man-made climate change.
Giaever並不同意 - 並直率及簡潔地把它放在他的電子郵件的主題線，轉載於氣候站，該網站致力於踢爆人為氣候變化的理論。
"I resign from APS," Giaever wrote.
“我辭去美國物理學會，”Giaever寫道。
Giaever was cooled to the statement on warming theory by a line claiming that "the evidence is incontrovertible."
Giaever冷了一截，對聲明有關一行變暖理論聲稱“證據是不容置疑的。”
"In the APS it is ok to discuss whether the mass of the proton changes over time and how a multi-universe behaves, but the evidence of global warming is incontrovertible?" he wrote in an email to Kate Kirby, executive officer of the physics society.
“在APS中，它是沒問題去討論質子的質量是否隨著時間變化，以及多宇宙如何作為，但全球變暖的證據是無可辯駁的？”他在對物理學會的執行長凱特柯比的一份電子郵件寫道。
"The claim … is that the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years, which (if true) means to me is that the temperature has been amazingly stable, and both human health and happiness have definitely improved in this 'warming' period," his email message said.
“該宣稱 ...是溫度已由〜288.0改變至約 150年後的〜288.8開氏度，它（如果屬實）對我意味著溫度一直是神奇地穩定，而人類健康和幸福快樂在這“溫暖”期有一定的改善，“他的電子郵件訊息說。
A spokesman for the APS confirmed to FoxNews.com that the Nobel Laureate had declined to pay his annual dues in the society and had resigned. He also noted that the society had no plans to revise its statement.
一位APS發言人對FoxNews.com證實 ，該諾貝爾得主曾拒絕支付他在會中的年度會費及已辭職。他亦指出學會沒有計劃修訂它的聲明。
The use of the word "incontrovertible" had already caused debate within the group, so much so that an addendum was added to the statement discussing its use in April, 2010.
"The word 'incontrovertible' ... is rarely used in science because by its very nature, science questions prevailing ideas. The observational data indicate a global surface warming of 0.74 °C (+/- 0.18 °C) since the late 19th century."
Giaever earned his Nobel for his experimental discoveries regarding tunneling phenomena in superconductors. He has since become a vocal dissenter from the alleged “consensus” regarding man-made climate fears, Climate Depot reported, noting that he was one of more than 100 co-signers of a 2009 letter to President Obama critical of his position on climate change.
Public perception of climate change has steadily fallen since late 2009. A Rasmussen Reports public opinion poll from August noted that 57 percent of adults believe there is significant disagreement within the scientific community on global warming, up five points from late 2009.
The same study showed that 69 percent of those polled believe it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs. Just 6 percent felt confident enough to report that such falsification was "not at all likely."
