Video: 32000 Scientists?
Environmentalist Peter Sinclair’s new video is about the “Oregon Petition,” an effort to show that scientific consensus does not exist on global warming by compiling a list of “skeptical scientists” packed with frauds and hoax names, but very few actual climate scientists. Sinclair focuses in on former president of the US National Academy of Sciences, Frederic Seitz (who wrote the cover letter for the petition), and his connections to tobacco industry disinformation campaigns — the kinds of strategies that are now models for climate change denial propaganda.
