Small thoughts - The 16 concerned scientists - who they are

Small thoughts - The 16 concerned scientists - who they are:

The WSJ apparently had an op-ed telling us "no worries" regarding climate change. And if there is anyone I trust to try to shine up horse manure on any subject to a gleaming sheen, it is the WSJ. The link above takes us to a review of who these concerned citizens are, but here is the gist of it:

If it’s an argument from authority these gentlemen want, it’s telling that “[d]espite seven months of intense effort to recruit physicists to sign a politically motivated petition disputing anthropogenic climate change, a mere, 0.45% of the American Physical Society‘s 47,000 members signed on.”
So 99 doctors tell you to quit smoking and get more exercise, but you listen to the one selling supplements instead.
