No doubt each of those scientists has a website dedicated to showing how they got fifty bucks from a coal mining company, or something else that makes everything they write suspect.
As just one example, that list of German scientists. A person associated with them--I don't even know who--made some comparison of Al Gore to Hitler. For this crime, every last person in that organization has been dismissed in this discussion--their academic credentials, scientific backgrounds, published papers, experience, and everything else thrown on the bonfire.
This is the level at which your opposition normally operates.
"The IPCC said it, I believe it, that settles it." Sound familiar?
And you, and all the reputable scientists with doubts, are cast with the flat-earthers and Holocaust-deniers by people like Al Gore, a demagogue who uses irrational fear and lies for gain.
I made what I thought was a significant point in a post up above on how much of this issue is balanced on the approved output of a socialist organization (the United Nations).
And this in an environment where the motivations of supporters and financial backers is considered of enormous significance. Unless the people are grinding the right axe, of course.

- "THe effects on temperature are negligible at best. "- That is nonsense, the science says otherwise...
- No we are not talking parts per million. And anyway, how would you know SteveS' objection till he has voiced it.
- CO2 levels are around 380 ppm (parts per MILLION)
