Fighting the global warming agenda through science


More than 17,000 scientists dispute the carbon-dioxide/global warming link. What are the chances that you will hear about that?
I ran across the Petition Project in my internet explorations. Now I will admit that I do not have the science background to evaluate the qualifications of the people who have signed.

But, here is the debate on global warming. Far from being over, there are thousands of scientists who dispute the basic assumptions.

Signers of this petition so far include 2,660 physicists, geophysicists, climatologists, meteorologists, oceanographers, and environmental scientists (select this link for a listing of these individuals) who are especially well qualified to evaluate the effects of carbon dioxide on the Earth's atmosphere and climate.

Signers of this petition also include 5,017 scientists whose fields of specialization in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and other life sciences (select this link for a listing of these individuals) make them especially well qualified to evaluate the effects of carbon dioxide upon the Earth's plant and animal life.

Nearly all of the initial 17,100 scientist signers have technical training suitable for the evaluation of the relevant research data, and many are trained in related fields. In addition to these 17,100, approximately 2,400 individuals have signed the petition who are trained in fields other than science or whose field of specialization was not specified on their returned petition.

Of the 19,700 signatures that the project has received in total so far, 17,800 have been independently verified and the other 1,900 have not yet been independently verified. Of those signers holding the degree of PhD, 95% have now been independently verified. One name that was sent in by enviro pranksters, Geri Halliwell, PhD, has been eliminated. Several names, such as Perry Mason and Robert Byrd are still on the list even though enviro press reports have ridiculed their identity with the names of famous personalities. They are actual signers. Perry Mason, for example, is a PhD Chemist.

After doing some digging, it does look like there is an active effort to discredit the signers of the petition.

The signers, not the science or the claims. That alone should make people stand up and take notice.

If this debate were about almost any other public policy, you could count on the mainstream press to find opposing views.
