There are currently far more scientists on record QUESTIONING the THEORY of global warming than those who have signed on to the (highly-politicized) UN IPCC report. The ICPP panel has 2,600 participants, many of whom were not scientists. More than 32,000 scientists have signed on to a formal statement prepared by a past president of the National Academy of Sciences and co-authored by an atmospheric scientist at Harvard, saying there is NO GLOBAL WARMING CRISIS.
Others point out that the IPCC ignored key data -- like sunspots, El Nino and La Nina, and satellite data that showed no warming. Further, their charter was direct: find evidence of global warming, not to ask IF it exists and then IF it's a problem.
This weekend, CNN had a debate including a gentleman who wrote "The Skeptical Environmentalist" who made the point that, if we spent the trillions of dollars (yes, trillions) the alarmists are proposing, we'd only lower the average temperature 1/2 degree Farenheit.
