Oregon Petition

In 1998, together with the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, Seitz circulated and gathered signatures for a petition opposing the Kyoto Protocol.

In addition to the petition, the mailing included what appeared to be a reprint of a scientific paper from Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS), and a letter from Seitz identifying himself as past president of the National Academy of Sciences.

In fact, the petition, paper, and letter were entirely unrelated to the Academy, which issued a strong denunciation of the petition project as deliberately deceptive and an affirmation of the consensus in favor of the reality of anthropogenic global warming.

Subsequent investigations of the signatories found a minority of them to be climate scientists, or even scientists of any kind. The web page of the petition itself states "31,478 American scientists have signed this petition, including 9,029 with PhDs."
