Dear zonk, that list you published if true gives me a very heady feeling. I am ten times as smart as all those NOBEL LAUREATES. That is simply amazing. I wonder if I have published more web pages then all of them combined. I most likely work on more computer programs at once then all of them combined. I guess that may be why I know more that they do. So we have 2 orders of magnitude more scientists who question the CO2 global warming theory and of course know one knows if the majority of these guys have changed their mind sense. Once the Kyoto Climate stuff focused the issue years back a substantial mountain of real science was turned on to looking at the issue. The half ass boogy science was debunked. It's like that statistic guy from yale who was made to look like a fool because he was fed crap data by the boise techno retards legal team. The guy was a smart dude suckered into snake oil numbers. One other thing zonk ucsusa.org How come I can't find a link to all the Selected Prominent Signatories who currently oppose President Bushes opinion on the Kyoto Kon. tom watson tosiwmee

Hi. I found that list, and some others. I also found out a bit about the anti-Kyoto petition, the quality of the science that supported it, and the standards for becoming a signatory. According to an April 17, 98 news release by the Union of Concerned Scientists (hundreds, perhaps thousands, of members, I assume; ie, more than 20): Anyone who had a bachelor's degree in science qualified to sign. That was evidently the only criterion. Here's a shabby trick: "To recruit signatures, the petition included a "review article" formatted to appear as an article in the distinguished peer-reviewed journal The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It is not a journal article..." "nor is it likely it could be published in a mainstream science journal due to its extensive use of selective and misleading material." ucsusa.org
