Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called “consensus” on man-made global warming. These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore.

Yes Jon, 400 scientists prominent among the radical right dispute global warming. The rest of the earth does not.
Ever heard of Kyoto?
This list is in dispute. It includes numerous names of people with spurious scientific backgrounds, others who are on the payroll of the very industries central to the carbon influx into our environment, as well as those that only criticized aspects of current theories on global warming, but still essentially conclude that mankind is the main culprit in Global warming. So if you remove those names, you are left with a list of 20 or 30.
But even if all 400 are totally objective full fledged scientists, the numbers are irrelevant. Science is not a democracy. So even though it is easy to come up with lists of 50,000 scientists or more who conclude that global warming is real and more than likely man made, scientific groups are generally loath to create such meaningless lists. Many if not most of them are not interested in manipulating minds to their cause. they are simply too busy discovering truths. But the propagandists resort to such lists because science is not their focus. Their focus is on winning arguments so they can win voters, so our so called "leaders" will continue to ignore the problem.
For them, profits come first. And I suspect they even look forward to the profits possible once the debacle that is global warming comes to fruition. Halliburton must be salivating at the potential reconstruction profits coming later in this century.
Profits now, profits later.
Casper,
I am glad to see that you have personally researched all 400 of those cited in the report and discovered that they could be lumped into a stereo-type group that would enable you to discredit their concerns without even considering them.

Mark,
The list is in dispute? So is the UN list. Some of those 400 were ON the UN list supposedly supporting “Human Caused Global Warming.”
As far as your vague reference to everyone being bought by corporate and business interests, I don’t believe it. That seems to be some people’s answer to EVERYTHING.
“Science is not a democracy, but the article is asserting that there is not an un-disputed CONSENSUS. The “Human Cause Global Warming” Movement keeps asserting that there is a consensus. Now, is that science, or is that an attempt to use LISTS? “Our list is bigger than yours!”
con·sen·sus /kənˈsɛnsəs/ [kuhn-sen-suhs] –noun, plural -sus·es. 1. majority of opinion: The consensus of the group was that they should meet twice a month.
2. general agreement or concord; harmony.
By that definition, 50,000 for to 400 against is a consensus. There will never be an unanimous consensus on anything if there is a sizable quorum being considered – there’s always a lunatic fringe. You’ve found it on this issue too, how nice.
So Casper, you have also verified the 50,000? I am impressed.
