At this Nobel Laureate Conference, 36 Nobel prize winning scientists said global warming is a very serious problem.

Error in 36 signatories. As posted here on a previous FR thread and from the web site "Watts Up With That" (WUWT), there were actually 65 Nobel Laureates at the Mainau Nobel Conference at Lake Constance in Switzerland on the July 3rd Weekend. Only 30 of the 65 signed the document or 46%. Yes, Dr. Ivar Giaever, a joint Nobel Prize-Winner for physics in 1973, was the apparent sole vocal dissenter, still the fact that a majority did not sign is significant.

Also significant is that Dr. Giaever [US Citizen born in Norway] was a supporter of President-elect Obama in 2008 but has soured upon both his support and the concept of 'Global [whatever]' since then, now referring to the 'Global [whatever]' as more religion than science. He even resigned from the American Physical Society in 2011 because of the APS adopting a rather doctrinaire position on the issue.

See reply 33.

Gaiever was the only nobel winner in a science field who didn't sign. Those who won their nobel prize in a field other than science didn't sign because they have no qualification to sign.

All the articles from watts, Newsmax, Townhall, Briebart, Wash Times leave that fact out
