In 1992, a “statement of atmospheric scientists on Greenhouse Warming” that opposed global controls on greenhouse gas emissions drew about one hundred signatures, mostly from members of technical committees on the American Meterological Society. The 1992 “Heidelberg Appeal,” which also expressed skepticism on the urgency of restraining greenhouse gas emissions drew more than 4,000 signatures from scientsits worldwide. The 1996 “Leipzig Declaration on Global Climate Change” emerged from an international conference on the greenhouse controversy, and was signed by more than one hundred scinetists in climate-related fields.
