Global Warming, why ask a question and then lie?

Global Warming, why ask a question and then lie? Wikipedia provide their users with the following.It is misleading[hide] The IPCC findings of recent warming as a result of human influence are explicitly recognized as the "consensus" scientific view by the science academies of all the major industrialized countries.No scientific body of national or international standing presently rejects the basic findings of human influence on recent climate.The weasel words hide the fact that many eminent scientists in the field dispute the balkanised position.Political bodies should not be mistaken for scientific ones.[hide] Over the years, a number of lists of so-called "skeptical scientists" have been produced.Notable among these are the Oregon Petition (circa 1999-2001, and re-circulated in 2007) and James Inhofe's list (originally released in 2007, re-released in 2008 with additional names added).These petitions have proven to be riddled with flawsMany of the people listed aren't really scientists.For example, the definition of a "scientist" used in the Oregon Petition includes anyone who has a bachelor's degree or anyone who claims to have a bachelor's degree, since there's no independent verification.Using this definition, approximately 25% of the US population is qualified to sign.
  • Some of the people listed aren't even people.Included on these lists are hoaxes ("Dr.Geri Halliwell") and companies.or the interactions between quarks and gluons.Those who are scientists are listed arbitrarily, and includes people who say they aren't skeptical of global warming.The Inhofe list was compiled by Inhofe staffer Marc Morano with no effort to contact the people listed.One of those on the list, George Waldenberger, even informed Inhofe's staff that he is not skeptical of the consensus on global warming.His request to have his name removed from the list was ignored.Many of the 'scientists' who contribute to the IPCC (and there aren't many) are not scientists.The reports themselves are flawed and include discredited results.[hide] One of the strongest El NiГ
