Oh so tedious ! All of Poptech’s references are so hopelessly flawed that I don’t know where to begin. Ok, lets just start with the first on his previous list :-

This, of course is the famous, (or ‘infamous’) Oregon petition, since it was originated from the Oregon Institute (there you go again) of Science & Medicine. If you could be bothered, you could google and search hundreds if not thousands of criticisms of this project. However, for simplicity, and as a jumping off point for further research I refer you to wiki (don’t you just love it
) :-
Oregon Petition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I particularly this extract from the Scientific American :-
Quote:
In 2005, Scientific American reported:
“ Scientific American took a sample of 30 of the 1,400 signatories claiming to hold a Ph.D. in a climate-related science. Of the 26 we were able to identify in various databases, 11 said they still agreed with the petition —- one was an active climate researcher, two others had relevant expertise, and eight signed based on an informal evaluation. Six said they would not sign the petition today, three did not remember any such petition, one had died, and five did not answer repeated messages. Crudely extrapolating, the petition supporters include a core of about 200 climate researchers – a respectable number, though rather a small fraction of the climatological community.[16]

{Hollow laughter) !!!
You will see from the bottom of the wiki link, late last year, OISM tried the petition again. However, with the evidence of fraud and ambiguity in the earlier one, scientists are now wary. Despite repeated calls, I don’t think the results have been published yet –
??? I wonder if they’re paying Mugabe as a consultant in counting votes???
