15,000 SCIENTISTS CONDEMN KYOTO ENVIRONMENTALIST FANATICISM
FAIRFAX, VA, Apr 24 (LSN) In a petition to the US government, more than 15,000 scientists, two- thirds with advanced academic degrees, have urged the rejection of the climate accord concluded in Kyoto (Japan) in December 1997. The scientists expressed their profound skepticism about the science underlying the Kyoto Accord.
One signee, Dr. Frederick Seitz, past President of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, noted, “The treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful.” Seitz also said that the fear mongering over climate change engaged in by the White House and the UN is “a complete fabrication.” Seitz asserts that the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which outlined the “need” for drastic action on climate change was reviewed by less than 2000 persons of which only a small fraction can claim to be climate scientists. The Petition is said to reflect scientists’ “frustration and disgust” over the “misuse of science to promote a political agenda.”
