On Monday, May 19th at 10:00 am, at the National Press Club, Dr. Arthur Robinson of The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine will announce that more than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition rejecting claims of human-caused global warming.
The purpose of OISM's Petition Project is to demonstrate that the claim of "settled science" and an overwhelming "consensus" in favor of the hypothesis of human-caused global warming and consequent climate damage is wrong. No such consensus or settled science exists.
The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine's Petition Project is spearheaded by Dr. Frederick Seitz, past president of the National Academy of Sciences and of Rockefeller University, and as reputable as they come. The petition drew media attention, but little of it was revealed. It seems the 'follow-the-money' standards won-out once again. It would appear the fact that an extraordinary number of scientists hold views against the global warming mantra, would derail the Gore-Train leaving corporations with empty bank bags they were designed to collect.
As layed out in "Global Warming: A Convenient Disguise", the bait-and-switch playbook was implemented, and the old favored neo-con trick was in full play. Instead of focusing on the content of the peer reviewed studies, the press focused on presumed flaws that critics found in the petition. Some claimed the petition was riddled with duplicate names. There were no duplicates, just different scientists who happened to have the same name. Some claimed the petition posse's frauds. There was only one fraud: Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, planted by a Greenpeace organization to discredit the petition and soon removed. Other names that seemed to be phony - such as Michael Fox and Perry Mason, were actually bona fide scientists, properly credentialed who just happened to share the same name as these popular actors.
Original signatories to the petition and others, outraged at Kyoto's corruption of science, wrote to the Oregon Institute and its director, Arthur Robinson, asking that the petition be brought back. "E-mails started coming in every day," he explained. "And they kept coming." The writers were outraged at the way Al Gore and company were abusing the science to their own ends. "We decided to do the survey again."
Using a subset of the mailing list of American Men and Women of Science, a who's who of Science, Robinson mailed out his solicitations through the postal service, requesting signed petitions of those who agreed that Kyoto was a danger to humanity. The response rate was extraordinary, "much, much higher than anyone expected, much higher than you'd ordinarily expect," he explained. He's processed more than 31,000 at this point, more than 9,000 of them with PhDs, and has another 1,000 or so to go - most of them are already posted on a Web site at petitionproject.org.
Why go to this immense effort all over again, when the press might well ignore the tens of thousands of scientists who are standing up against global warming alarmism? "I hope the general public will become aware that there is no consensus on global warming," Robinson says, "and I hope that scientists who have been reluctant to speak up will now do so, knowing that they aren't alone."
