31,000 scientists publicly reject man-mad global warming, and still no coverage of the announcement?

I would love to be able to afford to take out a full page ad in the Baltimore SunYou can be sure the Baltimore Sun would demand three times the normal price for that ad, followed by an "objective" article espousing AGW.

If 31,000 scientists had endorse Barack Obama at the same time it would’ve made world news.

If you want to get a visual perspective on how many people 31,000 are then just take a look at Obama’s rally on Sunday in Portland, that’s about 30,000 people (not the 75,000 they claimed)

The whole global-warming environmentalist thing is a religion,I agree it is kind of a religion. I know several journalists, one of whom is well known, who unreservedly sign on to carbon dioxide and AGW. The latter, although certainly verbally intelligent, flunked intro-chemistry in college, switched majors and took no mathematics, and no hard science, ever after. And is still sought as a premier environmental writer.
I see the AGW "religion" as a reaction from those whom science has passed by, resulting in a psychological need to manipulate and commandeer it. Deep egocentric insecurity countered by reactionary assertion. The perfect profile of course of Al Gore. Most lawyers also exhibit the same profile, and of course there are many, many ordinary citizens (probably the majority) in the same well.
A society where there are more lawyers than engineers is destined to be ruled by bigoted assertion.

I'm going to look up some of the 9,000 PHDs and see if they would qualify in Owl Bores eyes. Not that Al Gore would qualify in the eyes of most legitimate scientists.

We might think 31k is significant...I'll take the word of 30,000 Engineers over 3,000,000 politicians, every day of the week.
Not too long ago, there was a thread on FR that discussed the qualifications of a group "Concerned Environmental Scientists" (or something like that) who was called to testify in front of the House of Reps.
The FReeper researched the qualifications of these "Scientists". Out of the entire group, only one person had a degree in something that remotely connected to Global Warming (they had a BS in Biology). The rest were - not kidding - mostly accountants, social workers, and lawyers.
Now, Social Workers certainly are allowed to have an opinion. But, I would argue that their opinion is no more or less valuable than those espoused here on FR (or to be balanced, DU). And, certainly, they should not be tapped as "experts" called to testify in front of a Congressional Committee.
This is why I value the "Global Warming Petition". There's a huge difference between true believers, and dispassionate scientists + engineers.

This was more of the kind of qualifications I was interested in seeing. Too bad they don't further define by the Academic Degree and who they are on this list. I'd love to see who is the most notable in each field. Interesting the number in the field of geology.

One would think that the public announcement of this petition, signed by 31,072 scientists (including over 9,000 Ph.Ds), and announced at the National Press Club itself, would garner quite a lot of publicity.
Ah, no!
That's not the way it works with the left-controlled MSM. They will only accept their numbers, even if the great majority of real scientists gave conclusive evidence against global warming.
If just a few "scientists are cited as believing in "global warming", then that will be enough for the liberal-controlled press to classify it as a "consensus of scientists". Now, when 100% of scientists come out against the global warming "science", maybe then the liberal press might re-think their religion of "global warming". But even then, they would have to hear it from their leader, Al Gore, that he was wrong too, before they admit they were wrong.

“This includes our own Johhny I dont know much about the economy Mac. With luck, someone on his staff will buy him a clue for his birthday.”
I’m pretty well convinced at this point that McCain doesn’t have the intelligence to understand the science surrounding “global warming” even if someone gave him a clue.
I don’t know if it’s senility or just his personality, but he comes across as dumb.
