The “Petition Project” was initiated by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM).

The OISM has been debunking Global Warming since 1998.

Although it seems it will always be easier for herds of humans to believe a glorified fabrication over a boring truth, it still gives me hope that there are tens of thousands of “credentialed thinkers” who are courageous enough to work outside the “most up-to-date scientific models” and the movements of the masses.

WND also recently published a very good article/interview with Art Robinson, founder of OISM, entitled: “Scientist:’Global Warming” scheme to push global tax — Blames U.N. for using scare reports,’mob rule’, to bully through agenda”

Robinson’s concern over the political manipulation of science led him to launch the now 10 year old Petition Project, a compilation of more than 31,000 scientists, including more than 9,000 Ph.D’s – with more names arriving daily – who have voluntarily signed their names to the following statement:

“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases 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.”

There is some very interesting and radical evidence presented by Doctors Art and Noah Robinson, of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM), which shows that increases in atmospheric CO2 gasses, especially the use of hydrocarbon energy, or carbon dioxide released by energy production is actually beneficial to the environment and accelerates the growth of forests and plant life.

You can view a summary of their scientific paper here, as Dr. Noah Robinson presents the “Global Warming Myth” at the Telecosm 2007.

Background: Shortly after Al Gore’s symbolic signing of the Kyoto Treaty in 1997, the OISM collected the volunteered signatures of over 17,000 scientists who claimed there is no evidence for global warming, but in fact there is evidence that the global warming agenda itself is the cause for alarm. Again in 2007, a new surge of signatures (more than 14,000) came rushing in to oppose everything Mr. Gore represents, after Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and his fear-mongoring rhetoric started to gain blind popularity.

Note: In terms of Ph.D. scientists alone, the Petition Project already has 15 times more scientists than are seriously involved in the U.N.’s campaign to “vilify hydrocarbons”.

Spin doctors and Publicists at the United Nations, Mr. Al Gore, and their supporters frequently claim that only a “few skeptics” remain who are are still unconvinced about the existence of a catastrophic human-caused global warming emergency.

In fact, the claim of “settled science” and an overwhelming “consensus” in favor of the hypothesis of human-caused global warming and consequent climatological damage is just plain wrong. No such consensus or settled science exists.

The Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) sponsored a petition in 1998 stating that “there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the forseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.” This petition was signed by 17,000 scientists. To date, more than 31,000 degreed scientists have signed this petition (not a “few”). Moreover, from the clear and strong petition statement that they have signed, it is evident that these 31,072 American scientists are not “skeptics.”

The Meteorologisches Institut der Universitat Hamburg surveyed 400 international environmental scientists and found 67 percent did not subscribe to global warming theory.

More than 19,000 scientists signed the ‘Leipzig declaration’ proclaiming “the scientific basis of the 1992 Global Climate Treaty to be flawed.”

These scientists are instead convinced that the human-caused global warming hypothesis is without scientific validity and that government action on the basis of this hypothesis would unnecessarily and counterproductively damage both human prosperity and the natural environment of the Earth.

Professor Frederick Seitz, a prominent American physicist was a vigorous supporter of the OISM petition since its inception in 1998. Prof. Seitz was President of the US National Academy of Sciences and of Rockefeller University. He received the National Medal of Science, the Compton Award, the Franklin Medal, and numerous other awards, including honorary doctorates from 32 Universities around the world. Prof. Seitz enthusiastically gave the following endorsement to the OISM petition project:

“The United States is very close to adopting an international agreement that would ration the use of energy and of technologies that depend upon coal, oil, and natural gas and some other organic compounds.

This treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas. Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful. To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful.
It is especially important for America to hear from its citizens who have the training necessary to evaluate the relevant data and offer sound advice.”

John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel, and backed by more than 30,000 scientists from the Petition Project, is suing Al Gore for fraud in his global-warming movie.
