Founder of Oregon (Climate Skeptic) Petition Wins House Primary Race

There has been a lot of discussion of the election results in Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas by the talking head on TV and talk show pundits on the radio, not not much information on the results in Oregon. Why am I interested in the results on Oregon? Glad you asked.

Art Robinson ran in the GOP Primary to represent the Oregon in 4th Congressional District. Wise Republican voters selected Dr. Art Robinson to represent them in the November 2010 Congressional race against Democrat Peter DeFazio.

I saw an online video by Art Robinson at the 4th International Climate Change Conference explaining why he is running. He wants to being some scientific rationality to the discussions on issues in Congress, especially climate change. “Let’s have at least one real scientist in Congress,” he said.

Legions of Anthropogenic Global Warming Skeptics

Global Warming Petition Project, also known as the Oregon Project, has been signed to date by 31,486 American scientists, including 9,029 with PhDs, and nearly 4,000 with specific training in atmospheric, earth, and environmental sciences. All signers have the necessary training in physics, chemistry, and mathematics to understand and evaluate the scientific data relevant to the human-caused global warming hypothesis and to the effects of human activities upon environmental quality.

The German scientists, also wrote that the “UN IPCC has lost its scientific credibility." August 9, 2009

How much time has passed since your original post.

Art is doing well and gathering good steam as time goes by. There is going to be a change in Oregon’s 4th District and it’s going to be a good one. 23 years under Socialist direction (under the guise of the Democratic party) has taken it’s toll on this good state. The Fazio is worried, as he should be, and his fans get louder and even more annoying (if that can be). These next few months should prove to be quite interesting and lively.
