Do you know about the Global Warming petition, signed by.... over 31,000 American scientist....9000 of which are PhDs?

These 31,000 (thirty one thousand!!!) American scientist state global warming is NOT, I repete, NOT happening.

I%26#039;d like to hear comments from people on this. I want to hear from BOTH sides of the argument.

By the way, here%26#039;s the link to the petition, and the names of all those scientists:

I believe that global warming is happen to an extant. However the only cause for it to be happening is the greenhouse effect and and its been happen for thousand of years so why is it a big deal now?^^ 0% 0 Votes

Yes, that%26#039;s quite a number, and can%26#039;t be ingnored as the alarmists are doing. It%26#039;s a much better number than the 100 or so politically-controlled agents that propel the IPCC and NASA studies. 0% 0 Votes

Yes--it%26#039;s a fake . There is no real petition. And no real scientists signed it. 0% 0 Votes

I suggest you do some random searches on these %26quot;scientists%26quot; none of the ones I have tried this with have impressed me as experts in the field. A lot have vested interests, a large number follow cult religious beliefs.
Many seem to be aged senior citizens in their 80%26#039;s and 90%26#039;s, one who did seem to have the scientific qualification Philip H. Abelson, PhD died in 2004.

Then if you look at the petition carefully there is %26quot;Perry S. Mason%26quot; (the fictitious lawyer?), %26quot;Michael J. Fox%26quot; (the actor?), %26quot;Robert C. Byrd%26quot; (the senator?), %26quot;John C. Grisham%26quot; (the lawyer-author?). And then there%26#039;s the Spice Girl, a k a. Geraldine Halliwell: The petition listed %26quot;Dr. Geri Halliwell%26quot; and %26quot;Dr. Halliwell.%26quot;

In 2005, Scientific American reported:

“ Scientific American took a sample of 30 of the 1,400 signatories claiming to hold a Ph.D. in a climate-related science. Of the 26 we were able to identify in various databases, 11 said they still agreed with the petition —- one was an active climate researcher, two others had relevant expertise, and eight signed based on an informal evaluation. Six said they would not sign the petition today, three did not remember any such petition, one had died, and five did not answer repeated messages.

In a 2005 op-ed in the Hawaii Reporter, Todd Shelly wrote:

“ In less than 10 minutes of casual scanning, I found duplicate names (Did two Joe R. Eaglemans and two David Tompkins sign the petition, or were some individuals counted twice?), single names without even an initial (Biolchini), corporate names (Graybeal %26amp; Sayre, Inc. How does a business sign a petition?), and an apparently phony single name (Redwine, Ph.D.). These examples underscore a major weakness of the list: there is no way to check the authenticity of the names. Names are given, but no identifying information (e.g., institutional affiliation) is provided. Why the lack of transparency?

This petition is bogus and unfortunately is constantly being dug up by those who are unwilling to accept the truth about global warming. 0% 0 Votes
