Thanks for the link, traderrob6! I'll reprint the text.

The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) 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. As indicated by the petition text and signatory list, a very large number of American scientists reject this hypothesis.

I’m fine.

Do we really need to give fat people one more reason to feel guilty?

Apparently there's not enough guilt. Just look around.

Why of course, EVERYTHING adds to global warming, silly wabbit!

See my profile, point #6. OISM is a *real* legit organization (if it could be called an organization) for skeptics to be associated with.

I’m sure that they’ll get some giggles if Drs. Benjamin Franklin Pierce and B. J. Hunnicutt are still on the list of 30,000 names, when it is released. However, some jokers who spam the list do not keep it from being hugh and series.
