From the “there’s no quality control in climate science” department comes this laughable revelation, via the Australian:
Scientists’ petition on climate crisis blocked over fake signatories
Dozens of signatories including Mickey Mouse and Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore from Hogwarts have been removed from an Alliance of World Scientists declaration of a “climate emergency”.
Access to the 11,000 name-petition that accompanied a statement of concern published in BioScience on Tuesday was blocked on Thursday.
A statement issued by Oregon State University said “an administrative error unfortunately saw the inclusion of a small number of invalid names”.
Josh of course, has a visual opinion about it:

Ah ha ha… bunch of dopes
Anybody using a Banana computer, as the cartoon suggests, to spread the fear-mongering “religion” of global warming deserves as much derision as is legally allowed!
Derision of global-warming alarmi… sorry – SCIENTISTS – is against the law anywhere in the world where global warming is occurring at least twice as fast as everywhere else in the world; which is to say, everywhere.
The U.N. General Assembly just passed it; Saint Greta demanded it, and the U.N. knew it had to comply. Amen.
The worrying thing is, the fake names can probably make a better scientific argument than the real names; including the few so called ‘scientists’.
Albus Dumbledore may have been removed, but there’s plenty witchcraft science remaining.
Heh. I had a similar argument when I literally wrote in my dog’s name as my vote for certain races on the ballot on Tuesday.
You might want to be careful with that one. The dog might have won.
How do you separate the ‘fake’ signators from the signators with fake ‘climate change’ credentials’? Like a set of nested russian dolls, it’s fakes all the way to the bottom.
The toss of a coin?
begs the question “Why have they blocked access to the list of “so called” scientists”?????
11,000 ???
Where is the list of “so called Idiots ” maybe it is because the “scientists ” referred to have degrees in ( “animal welfare ? )
…..wait! Facebook pole what??
“A small number of invalid names”
Really. Now please explain how ANY invalid name appeared on this oh so sciencitific list?
But I’ll bet that 97% of them are valid.
Is the database administered by Cook University?
Crook University, perhaps?
Or “cooked”
Maybe State Pen rather than Penn State
They should compare the list to people on grant funding related to climate change. Between them and the meetoo group, that just about does it.
It is interesting that, over the years, whenever a non-climate scientist, who has tacitly trusted the climate scientists, takes the time to check the real science, they ALL become septics (if they are honest people), sometimes overnight, once they realize there is nothing to support the “science” of global warming by man.

You know, I had exactly the same thought when I heard a bout the petition. Something like, “11,000 scientists who are dependent on government grants are screaming alarm about the future bad weather and need more money to prevent it.”
It is exactly the question to be asked when confronting a message as possible impossible as theirs: are they just feathering their nests
Now that makes a lot of sense.
How many of them are getting grants based on the back of these idiot statements.
Ironically, this is out of Australia, which was the site of the original group that invented the whole global warming/climate change scam. The purpose was to transfer wealth from “wealthy nations” (ignoring that the U.S. is up to its ears in debt) to third world nations to equalize the wealth worldwide. Then the globalists could step in and take control with the one-world government, though do we really think that group could agree on anything. The whole scam began with a group in Australia with attendees from various nations, Gore made a movie and millions, and it just goes on like a snowball going down a mountain. “Scientific results” are changed to support the desired conclusion, and many jump on board to be part of some unneeded solution. Yes we should clean our water and our air, but this was not the purpose of the whole charade — follow the money, and includes the uninformed teenager that testified before the U.N. and is now some kind of snarky celebrity. And Trump is right to pull us out of the Paris accord.
It’s all about money!!!!!
Absolutely correct. 100%. Follow the money. A small number of people are making very large amounts of money, using this scam. They are using the fears of people (predominantly children) to line their pockets. Sadly, they are likely to get away with it, because it is almost impossible to prove that they are committing any crime. 😝😝
It is administered by Kenji.
When “scientists” cannot even cull laughably fraudulent names from their … oh so important list of “settled” scientists … it makes me question their competency in all endeavors.
I am certain that the “Recall Gov. Gray Davis” petitions received more scrutiny than this list of “the smartest people in the world”. Well, at least smarter than Kenji, eh?
I don’t know, Kenji?!?! You seem fairly sharp. LOL
Cook the books university.
Perhaps, as apparently the OZ “scientists” include a”naturopath, a hypnotist, an industrial designer, a commercial business analyst, and a psychologist”

“a small number of “obviously” invalid names”…..
…the fake names that didn’t sound like “Debbie does Dallas” are still on it
Exactly, this was obviously an open and uncontrolled opinion poll , not a list of scientific endorsements.
If they did not spot Mickey Mouse, they has ZERO vetting of who “signed” it. In fact NO ONE really signed it, it was clearly just some kind of HTML form on a web site that accepted any input from anyone, anywhere. There is more vetting of who does a tweet on Twitter.
None of this was a “paper” as some reported it nor even a “report” it was an opinion column, so I don’t see why it even needed a non validated opinion poll to be part of it.
Now how many of these name were fake but less blatant than Micky Mouse?
The Oregon Petition Project has three times that number and they’re real scientists. Of course this was 20 years ago when these guys were just nuts, but not desperately and fearing extinction of their Big Plan nuts.
The list is literally random people on the internet who “Liked” the 4-5 page opinion piece. Ezra Levant of the Rebel News here in Canada did a great take down on it. He looked at most of the approximately 200 or so Canadian names on the list and found lots of nice people who were teachers, instructors of various things unrelated to hard science, lawyers etc. His favourite was a fellow down in the “W”s who listed himself as a BS Detection and Analysis expert. Finally someone with a sense of humour.
The website of the presumed “International Scientists” is a one page site whose only purpose appears to be to get people to sign the list endorsing the opinion piece. Total bollocks! that was, of course, breathlessly reported as proof of humanity’s impending demise by the Media Party of Canada, as Ezra refers to Boo-boo Trudeau’s state funded cheerleaders, the CBC.
Well the guy who lists himself as BS Detection is s*it at his job if he signed up for this b*llocks
Just above Mickey Mouse is Tobias Mourier of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. Surely it is brave for somebody in Saudi Arabia to campaign against fossil fuels.
I wonder how many people would deny endorsing the petition.
Also, Claire Mouquet-Rivier (possible trans: “clear mucky river”). No doubt there are many other cleverly-devised names.
Was there a “Horst Graben” on the list?
No she exists – although the name could still be made up.
Given that there’s no “Tobias Mourier” listed on the faculty at KAUST (according to their web page) — it makes one wonder just who these people are that are signing? Students?
I scanned through the list of signatories, yesterday.
The invalidity of their effort is shown by the majority who claim degrees in ecology, or environmentalism.

I cannot now get a list of the names or the underlying data. I want to use them to write an article for publication here in Australia.
If you can, would you be so kind as to email them (or a valid link) to me at johnm@bigpond.net.au.
But the damage is done since it made headline news. I think it even made ‘The Times’ in the UK, which has gone so far over to the left I’m surprised it hasn’t fallen over.
They say “The Times” is lying on the ground, being walked on by bird, hound, and human alike! That’s fallen enough for me!
Unless they are ALL persons who are active in sciences that deal with climate the petition means nothing at all.
Any John Doe could sign and you could get a million signatures.
Wouldn’t surprise me if John Doe’s signature isn’t already on it, next to John Smith, Mickey Mouse, Dumbledore, and many, many other fake names. Fake names for a Fake news petition.
Congratulations to whoever on the inside did this. Best way to muck around with a database you don’t own is to muck around with the data being loaded into it. Cheers –
Hhmmm, thousands of science students from first world universities sign up their support for government policies that will provide taxpayer-funded jobs for them when they graduate?
Jobs / incomes that mainly don’t exist outside of government institutions.
I’m thinking of starting a GoFundMe campaign to provide bullsh1t detector nose implants to media operatives.
Clearly, this poor group of people had such birth defects.
Only two names ?
But the credibility is down, best what couldt happen 😀
We want you !
Didn’t Professor Mike Mouse get a Nobel Prize though? Or am I thinking of an Oscar for best animation?
Your thinking of Ed Catmull, who did get an Oscar, but then Ed is a real scientist. Some of his graphics algorithms from the 70’s are still the state of the art.
Social Sciences “scientists”, produced wholesale from our institutions of “higher learning”, are busily poisoning our lives with their bullshit.
A Mickey Mouse theory gets Mickey Mouse support.
Was Mickey Mann on the list too?
Mickey “Eeek a Mouse” Mann? Probably several times! You know how he applies himself!
The same thing happened with the Oregon petition when activists infiltrated it and added Micky, amongst others. Thereafter it was ridiculed whenever mentioned, even after it was cleaned up.
Payback’s a B!tch! 🙂
And that list had three times as many legitimate signatures.
To the best of my knowledge, Mickey Mouse was NEVER on the Oregon Petition Project, nor were the characters from the TV show M*A*S*H, despite that the news claimed. There was the one solitary addition of the Spice Girl pop singer name by people apparently at Ozone Action, which was caught and deleted. For more confirmation on the specifics, we need an update from Art Robinson or Jane Orient, but I covered the Spice Girl angle here: “Lahsen’s Spice Girls” http://gelbspanfiles.com/?p=3765
But what about the 31,000 American scientists with some 9000 PhDs who disagree with CAGW? Getting a bit out of date but still at petitionproject.org?
They need to get a few more names to seem more credible. Perhaps I can contact Professor Bill E. Button, at the Saskatchewan Centre of Naval Studies or Dr. Sea Spotrun, who teaches English literature at the University of Milan. I am sure that Mini Mouse and her friends can also make an appearance.
You left off Hugh G. Rexion.
I ought it was Huw Jorgen
And I’m sure Dr Ben Dover and Prof. Eileen Back will be more than eager to sign the petition.
Dr Dick Hertz and the prestigious Willie B. Hardigan are well renowned for their work in Climategate
I believe they got married, and she is now Eileen Dover. I met them while at the Modern Dentistry Clinic to see Dr Phil McCaverty.
Did you know they have (had) a dog? Run Dover.
Ah Dr Phil McCaverty, the well known former partner of Dr Ben MeDoon …
Look for Sheik Yurbooti too.
Dr. Heidi D. Klein will sign up.. for a price..
Any relation to P. Galore?
I suppose they kept Charles Dawson on the list and Piltdown Man.
It’s good that they kept Robby the Robot on the list. That’s important.
Is that really Jerry Brown PhD on there?
<>
The random scientist name generator algorithm has been temporarily stopped. Cartoon character names will no longer appear.
Okay…..Famous French Poets for $200
Thanks you V. Putin PhD for your tech services skills today.
but but, it is still 97% accurate.
First there was Climategate, and now, ClimateEmergencygate.
I understand the list was down for a while, but I just downloaded it a few minutes ago.
Mickey Mouse is still there after their edits. Great Job boys!
Once you’ve got mice, it’s hard to get rid of the little buggers..
Consensus of the Mickeys
“an administrative error unfortunately saw the inclusion of a small number of invalid names”
An ERROR saw something? This from a University?
The statement is prb’ly accurate — “an administrative error” is one of the employees.
Yea, the one who never picks up the bar tab after company “get togethers”.
