„Soviel zum Thema Klima-Konsen

Zu den 400 Wissenschaftlern, die bereits sich bereits vor einem Jahr gegen die von IPCC und Al Gore verbreiteten Prognosen wendeten, haben sich inzwischen 250 weitere gesellt.  Viele dieser 650 Wissenschaftler sind gegenwärtig oder früher an der Arbeit des IPCC beteiligt gewesen.“

Zu dieser Liste weiß das Desmogblog:

„But, wait, what about those 650 scientists Inhofe and Morano claim believe climate science is hogwash? Joe Romm once again does an exemplary job debunking this list of supposedly “prominent scientists,” pointing out that most of the names were simply rehashed from a 2007 list that was also widely debunked.

Last year’s list (which boasted 413 “prominent” scientists), for instance, included 20 economists, 44 television weathermen, 84 scientists who have either accepted money from, or are otherwise connected to, the fossil fuel industry or likeminded think thanks and 70 scientists with no apparent expertise in the subject, according to Adam Siegel.

It doesn’t help that scientists have also been included on the list against their will. Andrew Dessler noted earlier this year at Grist that meteorologist George Waldenberger was on the 2007 list – this despite asking Inhofe’s staffers to remove him from it. In his e-mail, Waldenberger wrote:

„I’ve never made any claims that debunk the “Consensus”.

You quoted a newspaper article that’s main focus was scoring the accuracy of local weathermen. Hardly scientific … yet I’m guessing some of your other sources pale in comparison in terms of credibility.

You also didn’t ask for my permission to use these statements. That’s not a very respectable way of doing “research”.“

Who wants to bet he made the 2008 list as well?“
