Ahhh.. The lunatic Fringe:

That must surely be the following 31k+ odd :

Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM)
Who: Dr. Arthur Robinson of the OISM
What: release of names in OISM "Petition Project"
When:10 AM, Monday May 19 2008
Where: Holeman Lounge at the National Press Club, 529 14th St., NW,
Washington, DC

Why: the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine (OISM) will announce
that
more than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition rejecting claims of
human-caused global warming. The purpose of OISM's Petition Project is
to
demonstrate that the claim of "settled science" and an overwhelming
"consensus" in favor of the hypothesis of human-caused global warming
and
consequent climate damage is wrong. No such consensus or settled science
exists. As indicated by the petition text and signatory list, a very
large
number of American scientists reject this hypothesis.

It is evident that 31,072 Americans with university degrees in science -
including 9,021 PhDs, are not "a few." Moreover, from the clear and
strong
petition statement that they have signed, it is evident that these
31,072
American scientists are not "skeptics."
