That's the famous phony 400 of Sen. James Inhofe (R-Exxon) is it not? Here are some facts about some of Inhofe's "scientists":


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

1 at least, claims he was duped into signing the list and regrets it.

Now that accounts for well over half of them, plus just the fact that they are even included casts doubt on the authenticity of the remaining names on the list. Face it Badmutha, this list was laughed at when it came out, it is nothing but obvious filler and BS.
