List of Signers - Open Letter from U.S. Scientists on the IPCC
Nina Chaopricha - LinkedIn
Over 250 scientists have already signed this open letter and signatures are still being collected. On Friday, March 12, 2010, the letter was sent to federal agencies. The vast majority of the signers are climate change scientists who work at leading U.S. universities and institutions. [I think this is yet another outright lie]. They include both IPCC and non-IPCC authors. Additional signers include professionals from related disciplines, including physical, biological and social scientists.I noticed that the list of signers contains names and affiliations, but not occupations or titles. I Googled a few names at random, and quickly found a lot of people like this:
Nina Chaopricha - LinkedIn
Environmental Studies graduate student at the University of Wisconsin-MadisonKaren T. Litfin, Ph.D.
Department of Political ScienceDr. Greg Möller, University of Idaho
University of Washington
ProfessorI hope someone out there has the time and inclination to Google each of the 250 or so current signers, then report on the results.

I don't know if it will make it onto the list, but I signed it 'Norman Bates, Psychological Drama Studies.'

It seems that the usual suspects, Mann, Jones, and Hansen have not put their names to this. Neither has Erhlich, who is supposedly coordinating this effort.
I wonder why the Realclimate crowd aren't signing it?
Let me know when the list reaches 31,486.
I just randomly selected 12 names and didn't find anyone remotely close to a climatologist. Francine L Dolins (#44) has a PhD in Experimental Cognitive Psychology and Behavioral Primatology which makes her a leading candidate to replace Rajendra Pachauri as head of the IPCC.
I did google two names at random. I got:
Gabriela Kütting holds a D.Phil degree in International Relations from the University of Sussex
Karen Litfin (Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles, 1992) is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington. She specializes in global environmental politics
Of course, I'm sure ALL the others are climate scientists.
Random check:
236 Mort David Webster, MIT, Engineering--dissertation about decision-making and climate policy,
221 Philip Terrie. Professor Emeritus, American Culture Studies & English
212 Anthony W. Strawa, NASA, Atmospheric Physics Branch
198 Laurence Simon, Brandeis University, School for Social Policy and Management
197 Robert J Santoro , The Pennsylvania State University, Professor of Mechanical Engineering...seems to specialize in fuels
174 Michael Roden, University of Georgia, Geology--meteorites focus
166 Thomas Piechota, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Office of the Urban Sustainability Initiative, prof. civil engineering
137 William R Moomaw, Tufts University, School of Law and Diplomacy
135 Ronald B Mitchell, University of Oregon, Public Policy
129 Brock R McMillan, Brigham Young Universi Department of Plant and Wildlife Sciences
