Over 30,000 scientists, with over 9,000 PHDs, signed the Oregon petition debunking CC. (Edited for Andre and his distinction without a difference in his below comments)

The NIPCC ( Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change ) with references to hundreds of published papers, likewise effectively debunked the scam, along with a European petition that had over 10,000 signatures. The web site CO2 science also, through peer reviewed literature effectively demonstrates the massive benefits of increased CO2.

So the answer is that no, they will ever claim a consensous regardless of facts.

However a good article effectivefely debunking CC is the most effective red pill to share with family and friends that only ever hear the MSM version of CC. Red pill a friend on CC, and you open them to a host of issues. Consider sharing this...https://open.substack.com/pub/anderdaa7/p/global-warming?r=slvym&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I intended to briefly skim the comments here, and thought your post read "... Oregon petition debunking C&C."

I immediately thought "Is Oregon so far gone that they're signing petitions about C&C??!"

I've been following the Global Warming Petition Project for 2 decades. A 12-page review article about the human-caused global warming hypothesis is circulated with the petition which can be found here.

http://www.petitionproject.org/review_article.php

The review article is a very readable scientific presentation of the evidence. I think anyone would find it illuminating.

Signatories are 31,487 scientists including 9,029 PhDs. Printable PDF is here:

It appears that you invented the "30,000 PhD scientists." I can find it nowhere on the link you provided. I did find "tens of thousands of others"—which could be carpet cleaners for all we know since there is no citation.

Exaggerate much?

Expand full comment
David A's avatar

It is there, and here is the direct link, zero exaggeration. Sorry you missed it.

(I tend to understate, it is actually over 31,000 signatoures.)

"Of the various petitions on global warming circulated for signatures by scientists, the one by the Petition Project, a group of physicists and physical chemists based in La Jolla, California, was distributed just within the US and 31,487 American scientists have signed this petition, including 9,029 with PhDs. Other European papers have additional thousands of signatures from those skeptical scientists.

When the scientists skeptics wish to demonstrate that there is a strong scientific community of thousands of PHD scientist who reject the theory of CAGW, unlike the 97% studies, they do it correctly. The scientific position of the vast majority of CAGW skeptics is clearly outlined by Physicist Frederick Seitz, past President of the US National Academy of Sciences and of Rockefeller University. He received the National Medal of Science, the Compton Award, the Franklin Medal, and other awards. He wrote the Petition cover letter these scientists signed. It goes to the heart of the matter…

“We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

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. 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 references hundreds of peer reviewed reports supporting their position.)"

In that you are correct, hower with the European petition, plus the CO2 science pedition, it is pretty much there, plus the other signatories are credentialed, and PHD is somewhat overrated. At any rate, glad you found the link, and hopefully you saw how, like the entire CAGW alarmist "science", incredibly flawed the "consensous" claims are.

André Angelantoni's avatar

I'm quite sure that these numbers are inflated with anyone who wanted to sign it, whether they are radiologists, structural engineers or the others I found on the other list.

Heck, I might find my local mechanic signed it.

And saying the are 9,000 PhD doesn't mean much if they have PhDs in fields that have nothing to do with the climate.

The whole thing is designed to be propaganda, not valid statements. If they wanted them to have weight, they would have put them together with integrity. As it is they are sucking you into believing there is validity to them.

The only ones exaggerating here are the proponents like yourself of the human-caused global warming hypothesis. But of course that is how the Left operates: Accuse those you are attacking of the very actions you are guilty of.

Politico Phil's avatar

Let me get this straight. Because David made the mistake of saying "30,000 PhD scientists" instead of saying 30,000 scientists and PhDs when he referenced the Oregon petition, that means he willfully "lied" and the whole Petition is bogus? LOL... Anyone who took 2 minutes to read the Petition would realize the simple mistake he made.

And then you accused me of lying, 'Thank you for admitting that you made this up: "30,000 PhDs."' Why don't you go read the Petition, the accompanying 12 page review letter and the hundreds of peer-reviewed reports supporting it for yourself. Then you can intelligently interact with the position itself rather than trying to base your silly critique on an ad hominem attack. Of course, that assumes you even have the intellectual capability to think through the Petitions basis in facts. Personally, I have my doubts and do not expect to hear back from you in any intelligent manner.

Why don't you actually read the citations you provide before offering them as proof? It would make you look less silly.

If you did, you'll find these ridiculous entries:

• Peter Champness, Radiologist

• Charles Camenzuli, Structural Engineer specializing in Remedial Work, Catcam Group, Sydney

• József Balla, retired teacher and manager of a small business

• Gordon Batt, Director GCB Investments Pty Ltd.

• Eric Daniel, Retired IT Consultant

• Jeremy K. Ellis, Retired Chairman of BHP, now Chairman of the Saltbush Club Australia

• Erl Happ, Managing Director at Happs

There aren't 1600 scientists, not even close. The list is padded with names from anywhere they could get them. And most of them have no experience in climatology.

It's exactly as I said: the list is padded to make it look more impressive than it is.

How else are they lying in that document?
