Re: A list of those who do not accept the AGW dogma.

Without any context, I think the reaction of most people not entrenched with a position is going to be "uh, okie dokie" followed by moving onto the next thread. Perhaps you'd be better served by shortening the list (though, admittedly, this reduces the appeal to common practice) and going into more detail about the credentials and accomplishments of some on your list. I'd imagine that they'll probably be impressive, unlike those of the 9/11 Truthers (which, as I recall, included some guy with a degree in gardening or something, along with a raging anti-Semite who lectured around the world on why Israel needed to be wiped off the map)
It took all of 5 seconds' perusal of the top of the list to find individuals with PhDs that have nothing to do with the science involved in the determination of whether AGW exists or not. Your point was dead on.
