You can also go directly to the petition website here. Click on names of as many names as you like, Google them, and see what you come up with. I did this for about 30 haphazardly selected names followed by PhDs and not one of them had a degree even tangentially related to climate science (the closest I found was a mathematician).
I divided 30 by 9000 and came up with a decimal value of .0033. Is this statistically significant enough to make a judgment about this list?
