First of all, that's not true.
The APS has reaffirmed their stance, and have posted on their website:
APS Climate Change StatementAt least Daily Tech has added a fine-print correction at the bottom of their column and changed their headline.
APS Position Remains Unchanged
The American Physical Society reaffirms the following position on climate change, adopted by its governing body, the APS Council, on November 18, 2007: "Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth's climate."
An article at odds with this statement recently appeared in an online newsletter of the APS Forum on Physics and Society, one of 39 units of APS. The header of this newsletter carries the statement that "Opinions expressed are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the APS or of the Forum." This newsletter is not a journal of the APS and it is not peer reviewed.

And secondly, even in the newsletter position, the APS's view contradicts the one that you put forth (what your son reported). Read the article--the APS is agreeing that there has been global warming. The disagreement is just whether the observed warming has been caused by man.
Kinda scary that a national lab dealing with national security has broken or low-sensititivy instruments!
Not true. Perhaps I stated it awkwardly, but you are drawing the wrong conclusion.
I alwao have a friend with a 30 year career as a weather forecaster (now a state legislator) who reports the same thing.
But, apparently you have drunk Al Gore's GW Koolaid, so it is senseless to discuss this further with you.
