Yes, you can get a list and verify to your heart's content: http://www.petitionproject.org/ |
Thats the best you got? hahaha -
THAT petition is a SCAM - ANYONE WITH A FUCKING BACHELORS DEGREE CAN CAN SIGN IT - AND WITH THE MILLIONS OF FAUX NEW VIEWERS THEY COULD ONLY GET A FEW THOUSAND SUCKERS TO SIGN IT???
from yahoo:
Re: The Global Warming Petition Project. How many eligible people haven't signed it?
If I lived in America I would be able to sign it as a result of my degree in engineering! Yet I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!
There must be tens of millions of Americans who are qualified to sign this, yet so few (31000) have done so!
Surely, given the ammount of publicity it has had and the ease of supporting it, if this view was widely held among qualifying people the numbers would be much higher!
Doesn't this petition reflect the truth that the skeptics are a very small minority among "qualified" people?

That's really the key question, because all the 'skeptics' are getting out of this is that wow, 31,000 is a big number! If just 10% of the population has these degrees (a reasonable estimate), then the Oregon Petition constitutes 0.1% of the scientific degree population.
Besides which, who cares what some random guy who got a BS in biology 30 years ago thinks about global warming? I know lots of people with BS degrees, and a lot of them know diddly squat about global warming. Having a BS degree does not make you informed on the subject.
The Oregon Petition is a joke. It was a joke the first time around, when they had such notable names as "Dr. Geri Haliwell" (Spice Girl). Twice. It was so bad they had to come out with this second version, but they kept the same ridiculous criteria. It's just stupid. The only hoax is that this list means anything.
