Discussion > Is this science?
11,258, actually ;-)
Where Phil thinks science is an election
The con is they pushed a claim of authority at the media
and the media regurgitated it "11 thousand scientists say in this scientific report"
So what the public expected is that 11,000 PROPER scientists have participated in a PROPER scientific report"
What they didn't expect is that 1 or 2 guys have written an OPINION VIEWPOINT
and that people interested in climate alarmism were invited to LIke the post and SELF REPORT their credentials
So that you end up with a 11,000 list of SELF REPORTED names and credentials that you are sure are about.
If skeptics stepped forward with a list of "scientists"
The public would be expecting PROPER scientists
maybe retired , but NOT undergraduate students,
nor even people who've only graduated months or a year ago and are doing a PhD
but someone experienced who does science research for their PAID job on a day to day basis.
There is a particular issue with students cos their views cannot be counted as independent , cos they are often in hock to university superiors who are going to give them their grades.
Likewise if skeptics came forward with academics from subjects distant from firmstudies etc. science like psychologists, gender studies , theologians, music, medical doctors etc.
my typo : Missing not
So that you end up with a 11,000 list of SELF REPORTED names and credentials that you are NOT sure are about.

There are no dentists on the list, Stewie, you're just making stuff up.
Really ?
"kahn, sandra
orthodontist
United States of America (the)"
I stand corrected, one orthodontist. But of course you did not know that at the time.
Do carry on, let us know when the number of 'illegitimate' signatures falsifies the claim made in the paper
Am I debating in bad faith ?
Am I sneering at people ?
"Amy, Jean-Jacques: Emeritus (that's retired)
professor of OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY, at School of Medicine & Pharmacy,
Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels."
I's simple we are saying the list of 11,000 scientists was not kosher
our evidence is that at first glance it is obvious there was no quality control
and signatories like Micky Mouse were there.
@PC claims that 34 names have been removed so it is now a KOSHER list of 11,000 scientists
..and asserts that we must wade through the list of 11,000, much of which has job titles and qualifications missing
and point out the non-kosher ones
I ask him if the gynecologists and ETHNOMUSICOLOGIST were on the original list and he doesn't answer.
Of course due to PR the organiser could add more names to their list now
but we are talking about the original claim, and original list.
