Do you suppose the first group is somehow paid-off by the endangered species? By the planet itself? Who is getting paid more to shill for which side?
Bottom line: this crackpot at the OISM published & mass-mailed a petition. He claimed that the info was peer-reviewed (it wasn't), made it to look like an official NAS release (it wasn't) and hasn't verified the validity (names OR professional background) of the signatories. He claims a list with 31,000 purported degree-holders who said they disagree with the Global Warming theory. He may as well have asked you "do you disagree" and then claimed that your opinion carried the same weight as someone on the IPCC.
The Answers in Genesis website lists about 200 people holding degrees who believe that the planet was created 6,000 years ago. In the face of that, do we throw out the "notion" that the earth is 4.5 billion years old?
And cuz you say its so, all this is true?? How bout some legitimate links other than your word..Thanks.
