"alternate version" of what?Oh, I get it. It's an April Fool's Joke! Oh--those CATO nuts.... Hahahahaha.
Why is it always CATO, Heartland, or AEI?
hmmm... They couldn't get Pielke to sign--even after basing the petition on his work?

Okay, let's take the first name on the list: Syun Akasofu, Ph.D, University Of Alaska
He does admit that global warming is occurring, especially in the Arctic, and that this climate change "consists of both natural change and the greenhouse effect."
http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Syun_AkasofuThis is cited from his own website's posting of the
"TESTIMONY OF DR. SYUN-ICHI AKASOFU BEFORE THE UNITED STATES SENATE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, SCIENCE, AND TRANSPORTATION SUBCOMMITTEE ON GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND IMPACTS HEARING ON THE PROJECTED AND PAST EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE: A FOCUS ON MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL SYSTEMS" "The wheels are falling off! The wheels are falling off!" Where have I heard this before? Could this be the answer to Chicken Little?
Maybe not; I prefer to think of it as the power of positive thinking!
Keep it up Imran; I'm glad to see that you're finally citing scientists who acknowledge the "greenhouse effect."
