“To me it is appalling that an international organization of the stature of the U.N. would ignore the evidence of past climate changing.”
Yep, all driven by politics and a back door way into your wallet.
Finally, something that will be reported in the MSM! /sarc

Consensus is politics, not science.
You mean Al Gore lied?
bump for later read
Wow, the Jimmy Carter of the 21st Century!
The UN has stature???? The UN puts Zimbabwe in charge of economic development and a bunch of Islamo-fascists over human rights.
I don’t want to give up what I want to eat when there are Zimbabwe lands that have been stolen by the dictator leader of that country and turned over to people that can’t spell farming.
They caused their problems.
Obama thinks he can level the playing field all over the world?
He’s delusional. He is a Muslim. This takes everyone back into the 7th Century.
Both irrelevant.
People with just any old Bachelor of Science degree could add their name, too, as that was the sole qualifier.
Dentists, veterinarians, anyone with 4 years of college that resulted in a BS.
That is according to their own written criteria, by the way: http://www.petitionproject.org/gwdatabase/GWPP/Qualifications_Of_Signers.html
From their own web site: "Most of the MD and DVM signers also have underlying degrees in basic science".
Yippee, I guess.
Having 31,000 people sign something is not science. It is laughable.
Having 31,000 people sign something, when many are demonstrably unqualified to intelligently render an answer on the subject, is pitiful and does not help your cause.
This unique piece by L. Auster explains why liberal institutional thinking is structured to reject all and any opposition such as the 31,000 signatures, and, why liberalism must be more aggressively attacked, starting first in educational institutions.

All People Are Good, Except You

A quote from Lawrence Auster at his blog, 15 May 2008
The key to the [Ontario Human Rights] Commission’s thinking is in its labeling, as wrongful “Islamophobia,” the view that Islam is a threat to the West. The assumption underlying such a judgment, whether about Islamophobia or bigotry generally, is that all people are good (except for people who don’t believe that all people are good), and that no people can be a threat (except for those people who believe that some people can be a threat). Since all people (that is, all people who don’t hate nothing except hatred) are good, and since no people are enemies (except for the people who believe that there are enemies), any negative statement about a group (except for negative statements about the society’s own majority group) is by definition a false, vicious, dehumanizing attack on that group.
The core error of this liberal view is that it never considers the possibility that some people and groups (other than the majority peoples of the West) may indeed be enemies. Specifically, it never entertains the possibility that Islam is in fact a threat to the West. If Islam is a threat to the West, then saying that Islam is a threat to the West is not an act of bigotry but a statement of truth and part of a legitimate effort to protect the West from a real enemy. By condemning and punishing such defense as illegal bigotry, modern liberalism prohibits the West from defending itself.
In short, liberalism has taken group conflict, a normal feature of human history, and turned it into an immoral act, with the further twist that only the West is capable of exhibiting such immorality against other groups, while other groups are incapable of exhibiting the same immorality against the West.
How does liberalism get away with seeing only Westerners’ negative statements about Islam as wrongful, but not Muslims’ threatening statements about the West? Very simple. Under liberalism, there is no society “here” to be attacked. Under liberalism, Canada is not a substantive entity—not a nation, not a culture, not a people, not a “group.” Canada is, instead, a system for the promotion of human rights. Not being a concrete group or culture, Canada cannot be an object of bigotry. But Muslims and other immigrants, who are concrete entities, can be objects of bigotry. Muslims are a group and therefore deserve to be protected from discrimination. Canadians are not a group and therefore do not require protection from discrimination.
In short, Western peoples do not need protection under the modern liberal order because modern liberalism, in its very premises, has already defined the Western peoples out of existence. This is why it’s a waste of time looking for liberals and mainstream conservatives (who accept the premises of liberalism as much as the liberals do) to protect us. Under modern liberalism, the Western peoples have already in principle ceased to exist, and all that’s left is the mopping up operation.
The Commission, by the way, makes an interesting Freudian slip. After pointing out that Ontario’s anti-discrimination laws do not infringe on publications and books, it mentions the more sweeping anti-discrimination laws in other Canadian jurisdictions, with the obvious intent that Ontario emulate them:
Limits to freedom of expression under some other human rights legislation in Canada are broader, stating that no person shall publish, issue or display before the public any statement, publication, notice, sign, symbol or other representation.
Of course the Commission left out a phrase. It meant to say something along the lines that no person shall publish any statement, symbol, etc. “that discriminates against anyone.” By leaving out the words, “that discriminates against anyone,” the Commission makes it sound as though the law prohibits all statements, publications, and symbols, period. Meaning, the total cessation of public writing and speaking. I call this a Freudian slip because, as argued here, the prohibition of all discourse is the logical end toward which liberalism is really heading.
