‘Oregon’ was generally a fairly sloppy effort.

I think the earth scientists that signed the Oregon petition (or whatever it is they’re calling it these days) were from a broader, and therefore much larger, group than those that were invited to participate in the Doran survey, all that was required to sign the former was a bachelors degree, the latter are scientists currently working as researchers at research faculties.
Keane and Martinez looks like it’s a Directory of Geoscience Departments and their staff that’s been around for sometime, 2008 is the 46th edition.

MacDoctor: “Mark. Let me help you here. This is not meant to be an analogy. This is meant to be funny. Just thought you might like to know that.”

Gee and I thought it was meant to be a joke using an analogy. So it’s not an analogy, it’s just (meant to be) funny? No applicability to the real world? I’m glad we’ve cleared that up.

Are you referring to the Oregon Petition?

Do you have a specific problem with the journal study’s methodology?

Andrew W and StephenR:

Thanks for your references. My problem with this survey stems from the 32,000 signatures of scientists who do not agree with AGW. At least 3,000 of those signatures should have been on the original list of 10,200 earth scientists. Yet none of them appear to have participated in this survey.

I find that odd.
