This is a link to a petition that has been signed by 32,000 people, questioning the validity of AGW. Of those 32,000, 9000 have PhDs, considerably more than the 2500 that "sign" the IPCC reports. Signed is in quotes because those 2500 sign nothing; they are a list of people who have reviewed the reports. Furthermore, their comments may or may not be included into the final version, however, they did review it, so their names are on the list.

Now, before you post your arguments about phony names, let me get in front of that one. There has been one proven instance of a fake signature, Spice Girl Geri Halliwell. Other names that appear to be fake turned out to be properly credentialled scientists, including Micheal Fox and Perry Mason. The instance of the fake name has been attributed to Greenpeace in an attempt to discredit the petition.
