Re: 15,500 "scientists"

What's their definition of a "scientist", beyond someone who signs their petition? I found the following on a page about the petition:

Some 16,000 scientists, two thirds of whom have advanced degrees, including over 6000 with Ph.D.s in science, have signed a petition that states,

So 6,000 of this 15,500 claim to have PhDs in some unspecified "Science" or other. I wonder who peer reviewed their participation in this "Project"? Sorry, this is pathetically transparent. What weight should I give to the opinion someone with a degree in neurology or behavioral science who just puts a signature on an Internet petition compared to that of a full time climatologist or atmospheric physicist who publishes their work in a reviewed journal? I'll put my trust in the IPCC scientists. Their report was heavily peer reviewed, while this is just bullshit debunkery, Binky.

Why do you waste out time with this shit?
