Global Warming Petition Project

More than 19,000 scientists have signed a petition which 'urges':

"The United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind. "

And states:

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

The complete of signatories can be seen at www.oism.org/pproject.

[that's 19K scientists in addition to the over 4000 from 106 countries which signed the Heidelberg Appeal in 1992, those that signed the Leipzig Declaration on Global Climate Change in response to Kyoto's drafting {forgot count, apologies}, and the meticulously vetted Oregon Petition begun in 1998 that now has in excess of 20K signatories itself. Ok, suspect there's some overlap in signatories and no, I'm not going to parse 'em - point is it's yet another association of predominantly climate related scientists that dwarfs the few thousand of the IPCC and else where - but which is routinely ignored by the MSM - why?]
