31,000 scientists reject 'global warming' agenda

More than 31,000 scientists across the United States, including more than 9,000 Ph.D.s in fields including atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science, environment and dozens of other specialties, have signed a petition rejecting "global warming," the assumption that the human production of greenhouse gases is damaging Earth's climate.

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate," the petition states. "Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

The Petition Project actually was launched nearly 10 years ago, when the first few thousand signatures were assembled. Then between 1999 and 2007, the list of signatures grew gradually without any special effort or campaign.

But now, a new effort has been conducted because of an "escalation of the claims of 'consensus,' release of the movie 'An Inconvenient Truth' by Mr. Al Gore, and related events," according to officials with the project.

"Mr. Gore's movie, asserting a 'consensus' and 'settled science' in agreement about human-caused global warming, conveyed the claims about human-caused global warming to ordinary movie goers and to public school children, to whom the film was widely distributed. Unfortunately, Mr. Gore's movie contains many very serious incorrect claims which no informed, honest scientist could endorse," said project spokesman and founder Art Robinson.

Once I get on the list, I expect my check from Big Oil to arrive soon!!

[pjd]

are only 154 signators who have backgrounds in atmospheric science or climatology...

At the risk of beating a dead horse - Many other fields such as Physics, Chemistry, geology, hydrodynamics, computer science, economics, anthropology,...all have something relevant to contribute.

The Truth that Glbal Warming is a Fraud is starting to perculate to the surface. Will Gore call 31,000 Scientists who signed this petition loosers and deniers? or is Gore starting to sweat?

The other interesting thing about this list of 31,000 scientists is that some of the most outspoken global warming scientists who have challenged anthropomorphic global warming, statistical models, and predictions of doom and gloom are conspicuously absent from the 31,000. These include names like:
Freeman Dyson
Edward Wegman
David Bromwich
Hendrik Tennekes
Christopher Landsea
Antonio Zichini
Zbigniew Jaworski

So... The OISM is to us clear-headed scientists as the GOP is to us conservatives.

Years ago, they may have gotten things moving, but both are now irrelevant to the discussion in progress.

Now we need thirty-one thousand politicians to say it's politically motivated
and maybe "just maybe", Al Gore will fly away into the sunset with
his millions from the con, and never bother humanity again.
His damage to freedom is worse then any crisis..
