Fundingfather, I googled 5 at random. No info on 2. The other three fit the pattern I've described before. Coincidence? Or just the same old, same old? I have no reason to believe that picking a different 5 would yield a different result. I did the same with Inhofe's last list and found "climate experts" including an unschooled TV weatherman who didn't believe in climate change because "God wouldn't let that happen" and similar "scientists." These are your experts, FF. Find me more than a handful of actual scientists, actively doing research, publishing scientific articles in peer-reviewed publications, same as I'd want in any other field of science, instead of attention-seeking geezers, tinfoil hat wearing Lyndon LaRouche types, and big business PR whores like Steven Milloy and we could talk. But you can't. Those guys are the mainstay of the denier's "stable" of scientists.

I'd like to think you'd apply a more rigorous, objective approach to science if you weren't hamstrung by your ideology into a need to oppose anything that Al Gore is for. But maybe not.
