When one uses reference which are clearly bogus, who in their right mind would believe they are being truthful in the rest of their statements?
While he didn’t vilify us by name, Mr. Schmidt was certainly targeting us, the climate scientists who collect and summarize thousands of articles for the NIPCC’s Climate Change Reconsidered reports, the hundreds who participate in Heartland Institute climate conferences, and the 31,487 US scientists who have signed the Oregon Petition, attesting that there is no convincing scientific evidence that humans are causing catastrophic warming or climate disruption.
Scientists like Hawkeye Pierce, Perry Mason, Geri Halliwell, Charles Darwin, I. C. Ewe, and other "climate researchers"?
When asked about the problem with fake signatures the response was:
"When we're getting thousands of signatures there's no way of filtering out a fake,'' Authur Robinson.
So even those who created the petition, and got nailed for misrepresentation by the NAS in the process, admit they cannot have confidence in the petition, but it is still referenced by the experts in misinformation and later quoted by the gullible.
