Quite so. Now read it again - carefully this time.
a) No convincing evidence ≠ no evidence
b) is causing or will, ... cause catastrophic heating ≠ does not cause heating

In neither case is the petition claiming that AGW is a lie.
The 19k "scientists" did NOT sign up to a petition claiming that global warming is a lie.
