The report listed the names of 413 scientists. With no Edward R. Murrow around, how do we know the list is a sham?
Adam Siegel over at Energy Smart has called attention to the yeoman work of Mark Johnson of Propeller.com, who went through every name on the Inhofe list, and posted his research on The Daily Green. Here's what he found:
84 have either taken money from, or are connected to, fossil fuel industries, or think tanks started by those industries.
49 are retired
44 are television weathermen
20 are economists
70 have no apparent expertise in climate science
Several supposed skeptics have publicly stated that they are very concerned about global warming, and support efforts to address it. One claims he was duped into signing the list and regrets it.
All we can think to say to Senator Inhofe: Good Night and Good Luck.
