At a press conference on May 19, Arthur Robinson, Ph.D., announced the release of the names of 32,000 scientists who have signed a strongly worded petition dissenting from the alarmist assertions of Al Gore and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Fears of catastrophic human-caused global warming, requiring draconian energy rationing, are the basis for policies supported by all three leading Presidential candidates: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain.
Al Gore claims that “the debate is over,” and that there are only a “few” remaining “skeptics.”
“In Ph.D. scientist signers alone, the project already includes 15-times more scientists than are seriously involved in the United Nations IPCC project. The very large number of petition signers demonstrates that, if there is a consensus among American scientists, it is in opposition to the human-caused global warming hypothesis rather than in favor of it,” states Robinson. Signers include more than 9,000 Ph.Ds.
Most signatures were obtained by mailing to lists of university professors and a compendium that constitutes a “Who’s Who” of American scientists.
“How many scientists does it take to establish that a consensus does not exist on global warming?” asks Lawrence Solomon (Financial Post 5/17/08). He reviews the history of previous petitions, including the Heidelberg Appeal, which ultimately obtained 4,000 signatures, including 72 Nobel Prize winners. In numbers, the Oregon Petition Project vastly exceeds all others, having gathered some 17,800 signatures in 2001—“all the more astounding because of the unequivocal stand these scientists took.”

GoldenbergStanley Goldenberg is a Miami-based research meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. And he is astounded by the vociferous arguments that global warming theories have triggered among his fellow hurricane researchers.
“It has been a hot debate. I mean, I have never seen anything like it in my career -- the name-calling, the stuff going back and forth, the threats, everything,” Goldenberg described to a ballroom audience.
Friday morning, blood pressures will likely jack up further. That’s when a “Global Warming and Hurricanes” debate is scheduled between two dueling scientists: Chris Landsea, a National Hurricane Center researcher who disputes a link between human activities and storms; and Kerry Emanuel, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology meteorology professor who contends that global warming is spawning more hurricanes.
Goldenberg, for one, sides with Landsea in the debate.
“There are numerous -- and I mean numerous -- scientists who don’t believe that the majority of the warming we’ve been seeing is anthropogenic. And (they) don’t believe we’re going to experience catastrophic anthropogenic global warming. That’s a fact,” Goldenberg said. “And many of these are prominent scientists in the climate field who have been studying this for years.
“Why don’t you hear that? Because it is masked by media censorship, bias and distortion.”
Rather, Goldenberg said hurricane frequency naturally goes up and down in multi-decadal cycles.
