The American Physical Society, which represents about 50,000 physicists,has denied a widely reported story that the it wants to reopen the debate on anthropogenic climate change.

The story, which appeared on numerous climate change denialist and conspiracy-oriented websites, as well as a few mainstream news outlets, said that the APS had reversed its earlier position assserting climate change was related to human activity. However, the official APS website denies this, pointing out that the controversial comments had been made on an online forum that is "not an APS journal and not peer-reviewed."

The highly respected scientific organization reaffirmed their statement of last November, which says "The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth's physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now."

I wonder how many of the denial types will print the correction?
