I'm always curious when people quote "respected scientists" as to whom

reviewed articles on the subject that they've published in the
appropriate scientific journals?

I can certainly provide some links to relevant reporting on those
articles.

But if you're interested in the subject, why not do your own research?

Anyway, here are some starting points (be sure to read the comments...
actual scientists are posting):

What don't you understand about "peer-reviewed" and "scientific journal"?
Somehow, your references don't seem to meet that criteria. Perhaps you,
and others, might want to read:

And for a survey of scientific opinion on the matter:

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686

However, I do realize I'm dealing here with your beliefs. Beliefs are
notoriously unwilling to change in the face of evidence, so I won't
pursue the matter further.



Given the fact that global average temperature has been falling since
1998 -- a fact NOT predicted by AGW models, and that the AGW alarmists
have now postponed GW doom for 50 years, perhaps the problem of belief and
orthodoxy is not on the part of those who do not subscribe to the AGW
faith. (oops, now climate change since the warming part didn't work out)
