Rather than individuals on a random list, how about major institutions?

The addition of greenhouse gases and aerosols has changed the composition of the atmosphere. The changes in the atmosphere have likely influenced temperature, precipitation, storms and sea level (IPCC, 2007).
Recent Climate Change | Science | Climate Change | U.S. EPA

Global Warming and Climate Change Policy Websites
(fascinating list of global warming links, starting wit the website of Inconvenient Truth. OH, those NASA hotheads!)

MIT Joint Program on the Science & Policy of Global Change

Etc. I could spend all day listing major scientific, respected government, academic, and other research institutions that agree on the basics of climate change. For some reason, you will stick to your guns that if even if one person on the planet disagrees, that makes a "controversy." that, to me, is puzzling. but we will have to disagree. You know, I'd love you to be right (you wouldn't believe that, but it's so.) Why would I want to look forward to a lot of potentially disastrous changes, and why wouldn't I want to feel off the hook about who caused them? but for me, that would be magical thinking, which i don't feel I or the Earth can afford.
