    I took a look at that "Petition Project". If only life were so simple. Do you really expect people to take that list seriously? All you have to do is request cards and sign them with different names and put a check next to what degree you think you should have. Talk about unprofessional.

    ya Im surprised it was even mentioned but thats agnotology for you
    the tactic is specifically designed to inundate the public with as much conflicting or confounded half truths as possible in order to create the illusion of scientific uncertainty

    I particularly like how the authors of the oregon petition even pretended that the op ed piece they included in the petition was a published article even offering a phony publication number

    not very honest but thats capitalism for you
    anything to make a buck

    Once again the religious fanatics of the AGW cult misunderstand and misrepresent positions in order to prop up their feeble science. An ad hominem attack is just an attempt to divert attention and does not address the issues. As far as the petition project goes, there is no dispute among the 31,000 plus signatories nor misrepresentation about what they are signing and what they believe to be the truth. Boston has once again shown himself to be incapable of maintaining a discussion without posting tons of irrelevent nonsense in an attempt to hide the inadequacy of his position.

    You have an interesting way of looking at things. A few years ago The Man Show went around and got 50,000 people to sign a petition banning Dihydrogen Oxide (H20). They also got 500,000 people to sign a petition to end women's suffrage. Now your showing a group that got 31,000 people to say they don't believe in Global Warming AND they are scientists in the field, even with PhDs? Show me the proof that these people are who they say they are. All I saw was a very disorganized list of names that are intended to confuse anyone looking at it to pick out fake names. Classic conspiracy style.

    Show me that they have been verified. I can't take your word for it just as you can't take mine about climate change.

    its pretty obvious who is ignoring the facts here

    The Oregon petition authors fraudulently presented there cover article with publication information knowing it was in fact not published

    and they fraudulently copied the format of there information with that of the national academy of sciences
    leading the NAS to have to publish numerous letters denying they have any involvement

    and you want to believe them on either the number of signatories or the qualifications of those signatories to make an informed determination

    please

    obviously this is just another scam by the industry PR arm

    its funny I took your posts off the ignore list for what one day and this is the best you can dream up

    a completely phony list of supporters for a half baked statement that has been proven laughably incorrect

    sorry
    you just landed on the ignore list again

    I'll save my time for the more serious posters

    Of the 1,500 signers in Florida, 155 of them are M.D. No expertise in climate science what so ever. Just because you are a doctor, does not mean you can pass yourself off as a climate scientist too. I found quite a few gynecologists in there as well as optomologists and pediatricians. So its safe to say that at least 10% of the signers in Florida do not meet the requirements set by the petition itself.

    actually given the lack of transparency within the survey there is no way to check the credentials of hardly any of the signatories

    its a sham

    they faked that the forms came from the academy of science

    they lied about there cover article being published by the same academy

    and they failed to collect sufficient information allowing verification of the study or the qualifications of those who signed it

    apparently anyone who could right his name was eligible to sign

    its just not worth taking seriously Spear

    I think the punch drunk boxers are the disclaimers of global warming, having no real evidence to support their claims, so much so that they have to take random names out of a phone book to support their claims, too punch drunk to realise they have lost the fight for credibility, still punching from flat on their backs on the canvas.
    Boston has things pretty well figured out. If only more would follow his example, and abandon the current predominant religion of the day, "Consumerism" we would have the problem solved. . .

    Boston is actually a capitalist. He just doesn't know it. If AGW succeeds in all its goals no body will be able to buy Boston's wares. Do you want Boston to fail in his livelihood? Is Boston self-destructive? Will Batman save Robin or will the Joker have the last laugh? Tune in next week; same bat-time; same bat-station.

    Climate change will cost not only our livelihoods, but our lives.
    We sure put a dent in the tobacco industry's livelihood. So does that make it a mistake to warn people of the dangers of smoking? The illegal drug industry?
    Ditto Al Quaeda's livelihood , the Taliban , the mafia, Hitler , Stalin, etc. etc, Opposing them will cost the economic activity they generate? To the obsessive ,blind capitalist , that is a mistake, because all economic activity is sacred.Where do you draw the line?
