The Oregon Petition is a joke:
In 2001, Scientific American reported:
“ Scientific American took a random 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. Crudely extrapolating, the petition supporters include a core of about 200 climate researchers – a respectable number, though rather a small fraction of the climatological community.[22]
So out of 21 (4 could not be found, 5 did not answer) Phd's that "signed" the petition, 3 did not sign it (14%), 6 said they would not sign it today (29%), only 3 were in related fields (14%), and 8 signed without all of the facts (38%).
This sounds like a very sound petition to me does it not?
*numbers do not equal 100% due to one dead and rounding
there = their ....sigh
