Dr. Harold Lewis of the American Physical Society and Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, has resigned, saying that global warming is "the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist." See this discussion which describes Lewis' letter as on the scale of Martin Luther's nailing his 95 theses to the Wittenburg church door, and then read his letter in full. Astounding!
All academic fields are subject to their fads. Certainly historians have their screwed up notions that are passed from professor to grad students, and on and on. I won't go into fads in the so-called social sciences. But the global warming hoax is one that can cost us big bucks.
I did like Lewis' historical analogy.
