[ExI] A Nobel laureate and climate change

[Dennis May]

A good reason not to be a member of the APS.  Come out with a socialist
political statement - once people balk and it becomes clear the first statement
couldn't be supported - instead of a retraction come out with a clarification 
statement that makes it clear the science is extremely far from settled and is
even more so since this last statement.

APS provided some additional commentary on this policy in mid 2010.  You can read the full policy and the additional commentary here:http://www.aps.org/policy/statements/07_1.cfm They source the incontrovertible proof (their words not mine) from:http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/globalwarming.html

> It's only the Earth's surface, not the core.  As to how: distribute a lot of temperature sensors over the Earth (including but not limited to IR cameras on a bunch of satellites,whose orbits allow them to collectively see the entire surface of the Earth), and monitorthem for a year.  Really, a trivial exercise in experiment design. 
>the temperature has changed from ~288.0 to ~288.8 degree Kelvin in about 150 years
