- Slugo, on 05/19/2008, -1/+1[quote]It is evident that 31,072 Americans with university degrees in science - including 9,021 PhDs, are not "a few." Moreover, from the clear and strong petition statement that they have signed, it is evident that these 31,072 American scientists are not "skeptics."[quote]

- greenfyre, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2How many times have the Deniers posted this thing? 20? 30? presumably trying to sneak through one version that isn't immediately labeled for the utter nonsense that it is. Well, not this one
This petition is a project by Arthur B. Robinson head of the tiny, industry funded so-called Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine hhttp://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Oregon_ ...
It is an updated version of his notoriously fraudulant earlier attempts, the most recent being the 1998 Oregon Petition http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Oregon_ ...
A scientist is someone who has a PhD or equivalent, not some minor degree (so much for 2/3rds of the alleged scientists)
Of Frederick Seitz see http://www.desmogblog.com/node/2863 (enough said)
Most of the names (of those that are legitimate, which aren't many) are from over a decade ago, in some cases almost twice that age - like there's been no updates in the science recently?
If I may quote http://www.desmogblog.com/node/2863
"The petition was so misleading that the National Academy issued a news release stating that:
The petition project was a deliberate attempt to mislead scientists and to rally them in an attempt to undermine support for the Kyoto Protocol. The petition was not based on a review of the science of global climate change, nor were its signers experts in the field of climate science."
Notice how Climate Change proponents never cite or source Gore? it is only the Deniers who do so. Proponents refer to climate scientists, climate science, scientific journals and blogs. Deniers do not wish to deal with the actual science (or more likely, cannot) so they ignore this and always return to attacking Gore. As if that proved anything? Totally irrelevant.
And on and on; it's a joke. A sad pathetic joke that is a waste of everyone's time.
