Perhaps the MSM will ignore this because the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine is a joke. I have a bachelor of science degree, so therefore I’m sure if I signed this petition I would be considered a “scientist.” The institute has a bit of a history of pushing this kind of bogus petition stuff. You might as well believe Matt Damon is the best male action star because he won the People’s Choice Award.
If highly esteemed Dr. Algore’s name is not present, the whole affair is bogus!
Im sure that if this is mentioned at all by the MSM, it will be in the form of a perp walk for these scientists. ;-)
Maybe they should buy a full page ad in the NYTimes?
I’m on the list
I’d help pay for it
My PH.D. is in history, so I guess I can’t get on the list . . . but I reject it!
Nothing.
Global Warming's a religion, not a science.
There is political science and there is global warming, which is a politization of science.
Then the Global Warming Religionists will say, “Well, numbers don’t mean anything...”
IOW, they will completely reverse their previous arguments until they are SURE they have 31,001 scientists on their side.
Of course, it doesn’t help matters when President Bush, John McCain and Newt Gingrich agree with the stupid premise of Algore.
tuesday news: “unemployment unexpectedly rose this week as 31,000 trained professionals found themselves out of work”.
Well! I’ll bet those 31,000 scientist still believe the earth is flat too. (sarc. off)
You don’t just “sign” the petition. You have to fill out a resume, explaining why your background makes you qualified to voice an opinion on the subject of global warming.
I went to sign since they were taking engineers as well, but I didn’t qualify because my field is apparently not acceptable.
Ohh WOE is me... whys everybody pickin on me???
I read the qualifications they were looking for, and what I do doesn’t match what they are looking for.
I agree with them. I’m not an expert by training or education.
Good thing nobody was stupid enough to bet.
It is now just after 12:30 AM, MDT Thursday, May 22, 2008, and I have yet to hear a peep from the press about this past Monday's event.
