A classic propaganda response.
First, attack the credibility of the involved. Then, question
the motives of the source. Finally, just pooh pooh it.
Ahh, the intellectual purity of the brave defenders of
received wisdom.
Incidentally, did those jingoistic warmers object when the
American Chemical Society or the American Physical Society
subscribed to the received wisdom of AGW and denounced them
because "they are unqualified, so clearly their opinion
doesn't count"? Just wondering.

The headline says it all. The first reference is from a

Incidentally one of the so called skeptics is actually slightlyinstitution
neutral, and not a denier. Another one of the skeptics is a
metereologist, not a climate scientist from what the blog said. I
think it is possibly a tempist in a hot tea pot.

Will It Be The First Major Scientific Institution To Reject The
Global Warming 'Consensus'?"

"The American Physical Society (APS) has signaled a dramatic
turnabout in its position on 'climate change' by appointing three
notorious [global warming] climate skeptics to its panel on public
affairs (POPA).
"The reason it's so significant is that it comes only three years
after one of the APS's most distinguished members - Professor Hal
Lewis - resigned in disgust at its endorsement of what he
