Frederick Seitz
Frederick Seitz (July 4, 1911-) says his research interests "center on general science, both physical and biological." . Formerly, he was a solid state physicist. He served as the president of the National Academy of Sciences from 1965 until 1968, when he became the president of Rockefeller University. He retired from that position in 1978.
Seitz studied under Eugene Wigner at Princeton University, graduating in 1934. They invented the global warming theory (though he accepts the recent rise in temperature as real ) and decries the politicization of science which he says retards research into views which oppose the prevailing climate of support for environmentalist views. He supports the position of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) on global warming and in an open letter invited scientists to sign the OISM's global warming petition. Also Seitz signed the 1995 Leipzig Declaration.
