The UN body of scientists who prepared the report may have been numbered 52. However, they drew upon the research of thousands of scientists around the world. And most of those scientists are knowledgeable only on their narrow area. Most to the extent they have an opinion on the greater question - AGW - probably take what is presented as the "accepted wisdom" at face value. As do most AGW believers imo. Personally, I see signs that skepticism is increasing among knowledgeable scientists.

Well more and more atmospheric scientists are beginning to believe we are having warming taking place as a result of human actions on the planet. I just went to a lecture last week on the campus of the University of Washington and a paper was presented that summed up the fact that the severe storm track has been moving north up the West Coast over the last 80 years. Oregon used to get some severe storms but that frequency is moving north into Washington State and B.C. now. The conclusion... global warming.
