The American Institute of Physics (AIP) is an international body representing physicists and publishing physics related journals. It was founded in 1931.

AIP is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit membership corporation created for the purpose of promoting the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics and its application to human welfare. It is the mission of the Institute to serve the sciences of physics and astronomy by serving its member societies, by serving individual scientists, and by serving students and the general public.

As a "society of societies," AIP supports ten Member Societies and provides a spectrum of services and programs devoted to advancing the science and profession of physics. A pioneer in digital publishing, AIP is also one of the world's largest publishers of physics journals and produces the publications of more than 25 scientific and engineering societies through its New York-based publishing division.

Which horse do you want to bet your (and your children's) future on?
Q. Suppose the mainstream global warming scientists are only 90% sure to be right. That's a low number, most would put it higher. Do you want to bet the well being of the world on a 10:1 longshot that they're wrong, and do nothing about it? On the one side you have a very few "skeptics", largely people you've never heard of before. On the other, The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Academies of all the advanced countries, the American Goephysical Union, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Meteorological Association, etc. And most every famous scientist you've ever heard of before this. World and corporate leaders have decided. … [cont.]

A. I don't think betting against the scientist would be wise. It is far safer for Americans to take steps to curb global warming by conservation, development of new technologies to produce and conserve energy, and use policies and incentives to encourage ecosystem health than to keep relying on foreign fuel sources, encouraging the use of fossil fuels, and gutting environmental protection. Which path is the best for America in the long run? Which Americans are the true patriots? Those who obstruct progress or those who embrace it? Embrace science. It will make American and the world better. I have read the IPCC reports (starting in 1989 with the draft of the science behind global warming - Working Group I). The IPCC reports show that… [cont.]

What are some of the other things brought to you by global warming scientists?
Q. I mean, in addition to computers, cell phones, prosperity, etc? I'm blocked from the other question. But it's most all of the scientists in the world saying global warming is real, and mostly caused by us. EVERY major scientific organization has issued an official statement that this is real, and mostly caused by us. The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association, etc. "The release of the book "Global Warming- Global Cooling, Natural Cause Found" culminates 19 years of research clearly linking gravitational cycles as the cause for fluctuations within the… [cont.]

A. Well that depends on how you define 'global warming scientists', of course. Whether it's any scientist who agrees with the consensus, or if it's climate scientists. Climate scientists have brought us a much better understanding of how the Earth's climate functions. If you just mean scientists in general - you name it, they've invented it. And yes, engineers are scientists.

Am I taking on too much in school?
Q. I'm a freshmen. My guidance counselor gave me my curriculum sheet for my whole high school career. My current average is 102, but I don't want to risk getting it dropped to under a 99. I actually don't have a choice but to take it, but is it too much? I plan on becoming a doctor because I had osteosarcoma and lung cancer when I was 9 and 11. It's been my dream to become an oncologist or a pediatrician. Freshmen Year: Institute English, Institute Global History I, Geometry Honors, Institute Biology: Living Environment, Institute Art History/Institute Music History, Spanish I Sophomore Year: Institute English Humanities, Institute Global History II & AP European History, Algebra 2 & Trigonometry Honors, Institute Chemistry, Latin I Honors,… [cont.]
