The study also found that the hundreds of scientists who have signed public statements opposing climate change legislation have published fewer peer-reviewed studies on climate change.

The climate scientists were chosen from scientific assessment reports and numerous public statements both supporting and opposed to the mainstream theory. The study focused on the 908 researchers who had each published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers on the subject.
