There is a reason why people like Gray, Lindzen and Singer keep getting quoted by E-skeptics: it's because there is a dearth of skeptics who are also scientists. Yeah, I know, the others are "intimidated"; what nonsense. If there were a lot of scientists who didn't substantially agree with the views expressed in the IPCC report, we would be hearing from a lot more people than the same old same old people. Scientists who work in universities get tenure, and there are plenty of wealthy companies out there that would love for them to step forward and provide either arguments or empirical studies that refute the basic contention that increasing amounts of carbon emissions are harming the environment. There would be huge amounts of money available for such studies and papers. Heck, even I would be pleased if that were the case--it would makes all sorts of things a lot easier.

Time will tell if Gray, Singer et al are correct or the IPCC. It is utterly senseless to spend time arguing the point here.
