WorldNetDaily’s Bob Unruh repeats his advocacy for the the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine with a June 19 article that once again touts the OISM’s anti-global warming petition it claims was “officially endorsed by tens of thousands of other scientists.”
As we detailed, the OISM petition collected its signatures over a period of more than a decade and counts signatories with degrees in “science” — Unruh makes sure to quote OISM chief Art Robinson adding that the number also includes “more than 9,000 Americans with Ph.D.s in science and therefore professional educational credentials” — without making distinctions as to whether those degrees are actually relevant to disciplines related to global warming.
Unruh quotes only Robinson in his article and presents his claims at face value, adding only that “A spokeswoman for the United Nation’s Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon declined to respond to WND questions” as if the U.N. chief was the only person qualified to answer Robinson’s claims.
