<< Dear del, who are the thousands of scientists who say global warming is a real threat and correlated to CO2 levels. >>
For starters, there is The Union of Concerned Scientists...
The Union of Concerned Scientists
In fall 1997, the Union of Concerned Scientists initiated the World Scientists' Call for Action at the Kyoto
Climate Summit. This statement urged all government leaders to:
act immediately to prevent the potentially devastating consequences of human-induced global warming AND
demonstrate a new commitment to protecting the global environment
At the Climate Summit in Kyoto, Japan, held in December 1997, the nations of the world decided to strengthen
the 1992 Framework Convention on Climate Change by agreeing to effective controls on human practices
affecting climate.
In advance of the Summit, the Union of Concerned Scientists circulated the Call for Action for endorsement to
leading scientists from around the world, including all scientists who had been awarded the Nobel Prize and
National Academy-level scientists on all continents.
More than 1,500 scientists signed the Call for Action. Their signatures demonstrate that the world's senior
scientific community believes that global warming is a serious threat, and that steps to address it must include
complying with commitments made in the Kyoto Protocol. This strong climate-change treaty represents a
landmark precedent for tackling other grave environmental problems, many of which have worsened in recent
years.
Total number of signatories as of October 14, 1997: 1,586
Countries represented: 63
Nobel laureates: 110, including 104 of the 178 living Nobel Prize winners in the sciences
US National Medal of Science winners: 60
"We, the signers of this declaration, urge all government leaders to demonstrate a new commitment to protecting
the global environment for future generations. The important first step is to join in completing a strong and
meaningful Climate Treaty at Kyoto. We encourage scientists and citizens around the world to hold their leaders
accountable for addressing the global warming threat. Leaders must take this first step to protect future
generations from dire prospects that would result from failure to meet our responsibilities toward them."
The mainstream scientific consensus on global warming is becoming clearer every day: changes in our climate are
real and they are underway. Now. But we can do something about it.
The evidence that human-induced global warming is real is increasingly clear and compelling.

Here's another....
The Environmental Protection Agency " EPA's Scientific Advisory Board has consistently ranked the
potential consequences of climate change amongst the highest environmental risks facing society today. Studies
by scientists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (convened by the UN and the World
Meteorological Society) similarly suggest that there may be potentially serious environmental impacts."

Show me your sources please. Try not to use too many sources bought and paid for by Exxon.
