31,000 Signatures Prove ‘No Consensus’ About Global Warming
BRIEFING | BY MELINDA ZOSH - INTERN | MAY 22, 2008
Presidential candidate Barack Obama said on Monday that “we have to get used to the idea that we can’t keep our houses at 72, drive our SUVs and eat all we want.” Arthur B. Robinson, president and professor of chemistry at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, has a different response.
“I don’t want to give up eating all I want because of a failed hypothesis,” said Robinson at the National Press Club here on May 19. Robinson said global warming is not a threat to America. He said that the global temperature increased by just .5 degrees in the last century.
Robinson spoke about his petition signed by 31,000 U.S. scientists who reject the claims that “human release of greenhouse gases is damaging our climate.”
“World temperatures fluctuate all the time,” said Robinson. “The temperature of the Earth has risen many times, far more times than carbon dioxide could drive it. There is no experimental evidence that humans are changing the environment…”
Robinson said that in recent years the U.N. and a group of 600 scientists, representing less than one percent of the scientific population, reached a “consensus” that global warming is happening. This has never been done before, Robinson insists.
Dennis Avery, Director for the Center of Global Food Issues at the Hudson Institute, agrees with Robinson. “Nobody can do science by a committee. You do science by testing,” said Avery. “To me it is appalling that an international organization of the stature of the U.N. would ignore the evidence of past climate changing.”
The signers of Robinson’s petition, including 9,000 Ph.Ds, all have one thing in common. They believe that human rights are being taken away....

Yep, all driven by politics and a back door way into your wallet.
Finally, something that will be reported in the MSM! /sarc
That picture is worth a thousand words for sure!
/sarc
Consensus is politics, not science.
You mean Al Gore lied?
bump for later read

In my world -- 31,000 U.S. scientists trump 600 U.N. kool-aid drinkers...
Wow, the Jimmy Carter of the 21st Century!
The UN has stature???? The UN puts Zimbabwe in charge of economic development and a bunch of Islamo-fascists over human rights.
I don’t want to give up what I want to eat when there are Zimbabwe lands that have been stolen by the dictator leader of that country and turned over to people that can’t spell farming.
They caused their problems.
Obama thinks he can level the playing field all over the world?
He’s delusional. He is a Muslim. This takes everyone back into the 7th Century.
Both irrelevant.
People with just any old Bachelor of Science degree could add their name, too, as that was the sole qualifier.
Dentists, veterinarians, anyone with 4 years of college that resulted in a BS.
That is according to their own written criteria, by the way: http://www.petitionproject.org/gwdatabase/GWPP/Qualifications_Of_Signers.html
From their own web site: "Most of the MD and DVM signers also have underlying degrees in basic science".
Yippee, I guess.
Having 31,000 people sign something is not science. It is laughable.
Having 31,000 people sign something, when many are demonstrably unqualified to intelligently render an answer on the subject, is pitiful and does not help your cause.
In 1980 Reagan’s message slamming Carter resonated. These days I fear that far more Americans embrace Obama’s awful ideas on limitations and curtailments of freedom.
And it is 31 THOUSAND is it not? On that George Noory radio show the other night I think I heard him say “31.” That show is pretty much like a 3 hour long Bush bash on the nights when I have insomnia and listen in.
