I don't like this whole "list of experts" routine. Having more experts on your side doesn't necessarily make you right. A few good links to solid scientific articles and peer reviews would be a lot more help in making up my mind - I do not now have enough information to make a stand one way or the other - than a million signatures on a petition.

Michael, there are lots of REAL scientists who are on the pro-global warming side of the equation (unlike the anti-global warming ones, which if you look closely are affiliated with a libertarian organization whose goal is unfettered free enterprise and tax reduction) . Here is something I found on the net. Look at how many Nobel Laureates there are in this group, for example: 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 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. Over 1500 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 ucsusa.org
