Do we know how many of the 19,000 are qualified to review the research?
Frank R. Boehm a safety engineer? nope
I found you one that isn't qualified. Find me one from the list that is.

Your argument is like saying the NEA accepts Barack Obama for President, since they has 3.2 million members therefore Barack will get 3.2 million votes.

Did they sign because they agreed with this:

We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

Or this:

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

What percentage of members would vote for Obama? So what percentage of the science organizations would accept their stance on AGW? Pick a number. one percent 10 percent? I've listed 4 out of 31 organizations with membership numbers totaling 213,000 scientists and engineers. 1 percent is 2130 scientists; from 4 organizations. Any way you add it up the number will far exceed your 19,000.
