I agree - people need to read.

It's one thing to take an opposing view, and it's certainly appropriate to use other statistics to back up your position, but had you read what I posted before (see post #15), you would know that it wasn't "a couple hundred" scientists.

The report was the work of 2,500 scientists from 130 nations working for six years. They also received 30,000 comments from scientists around the world.

No problem Curly. You are right. I wasn't however, diminishing the validity of the report based on the number of scientists involved. Either way, giving credit to less scientists versus completely misrepresenting a pertinent fact are not the same.
