Miracle of the Sun & 'Global Warming'

With October 13, 2010 marking the 93rd anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun at Fatima - a true celestial event witnessed by thousands - it seems a good opportunity to highlight a recent development in the 'global warming' / 'climate change' arena, namely the resignation of a 'scientific heavyweight', a Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara from the American Physical Society over concerns related to so-called 'global warming'. His resignation charges that the "money flood has become the raison d’être of much physics research" and says his "former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years" has been "turned into shame". His resignation letter further charges that...
"It is of course, 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. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare... I don’t believe that any real physicist, nay scientist, can read that stuff without revulsion. I would almost make that revulsion a definition of the word scientist."
He also charged that...
* "Everything that has been done in the last year has been designed to silence debate"
* "In the interim the ClimateGate scandal broke into the news, and the machinations of the principal alarmists were revealed to the world. It was a fraud on a scale I have never seen, and I lack the words to describe its enormity."
* "This scheming at APS HQ is so bizarre that there cannot be a simple explanation for it. Some have held that the physicists of today are not as smart as they used to be, but I don’t think that is an issue. I think it is the money, exactly what Eisenhower warned about a half-century ago. There are indeed trillions of dollars involved, to say nothing of the fame and glory (and frequent trips to exotic islands) that go with being a member of the club. Your own Physics Department (of which you are chairman) would lose millions a year if the global warming bubble burst... Since I am no philosopher, I’m not going to explore at just which point enlightened self-interest crosses the line into corruption, but a careful reading of the ClimateGate releases makes it clear that this is not an academic question."
Suggestion from a non-scientist: Rather than stressing a delusive 'climate change' / 'global warming' agenda that pressures persons to live in defiance of God's laws (e.g. the alarmists' unreasoned & immoral push for contraception & population control), focus your energy (pun intended) on the unprecedented, real solar phenomenon presented to us at Fatima courtesy of our Blessed Mother that testified to the truth of & importance of her message. Then do what your Heavenly Mother has asked. Her message is genuine and will bring peace & happiness on earth and will help lead to the salvation of eternal souls. That's something you can be certain of.
