Petitions are dumb and very very rarely pan out or mean anything, especially online petitions, yet people are still duped time and time again.

There are a great number of computer scientists working on the global warming issue as computer modeling is a huge part of the work being done.

I suspect if you asked the organizers they would say that "scientists" as they have defined them do share a fundamental understanding of how science is conducted (peer review journals, scientific method etc.) and therefore might be in a better positions to believe other scientists.

That said Dan is right, on line petitions are not the win. No one listens to them.
