I wasn't aware that scientody was done by collecting signatures; but here's Ed Driscoll, boomerposter extraordinaire, to talk climate. 1609 scientists! Wow.
This reminds me of nothing so much as an oft-laundered collection of almost a thousand... intelligent-design advocates. Which I can no-longer find on Canada Free Press interestingly...
The problem with collecting many signatures, rather than relaying a superior argument, is that you have thereby conceded the democratic principle. If you are an academic conservative, you are getting outvoted. Which, by your own logic, proves you wrong.
Same goes for vaccines, among epidemiologists and just plain doctors. Similar goes for masks, although here we might just be stymied by passive-aggressives who refuse them. (Disclosure: in both cases, what applies in 2023 isn't what applied in 2020; I intend to follow Cerno in not bothering with either anymore. I am however warning against using similar losing tactics in this argument as well.)
