if you're going to toss around numbers of real scientists i will point out that there has been some question as to how many of the thousands of scientists involved in the ipcc consensus process are actually scientists working in the area of climate change if you're going to make ad hominem attacks on the opponents of global warming it might be interesting to analyze the credentials of the scientists on both sides of the issue i wonder if anyone has actually done this analysis for both sides of the debate i think it's unlikely given the partisan nature of the debate it's far more likely that each side of the debate assumes their experts are all wonderful and importantant scientists while the other side's experts are obviously incompetent and bought off global warming non believers i have no idea how the article should be updated for the following information any suggestions would be appreciated however scientists are on record as strongly opposing the conclusions of the ipcc i wouldn't consider this to be only a few they published an open letter to ban ki moon available at interestingly there are also scientific claims made within this letter such as the claim that there has been no global warming since that probably also need to be addressed in the article i don't have the time or expertise to amend the article to include this information in a fair and balance manner but if it's not included i'd argue that the article is misleading at best
