No, if we're talking global warming, we're talking mythology - not science.

All you have is a short list, what is it 41? Mea culpa, I should have written "a RELATIVE few." (Guess how many people's work was studied by the IPCC in order for them to reach its consensus.) Still, a far cry from claims in the "news" post that started this thread. Let's see 41 versus 31,000 -- wow, that's way less than one percent!
Um, the 31,000 ALSO disagree, not agree, with global warming.....

So if your sourced list is of "scientists and former scientists who have stated disagreement with one or more of the principal conclusions" do you concur that at least some of them agree with two of the principal conclusions and more agree with at least one?
I'm sure there are unintentional nuggets of truth in there, yes

Biased how? Some scientists criticize the IPCC for being too conservative in its predictions. Sounds kind of middle-of-the-road to me.
Biased in having an agenda for their results. Biased in not looking at the bad data provided because they had a predetermined outcome. That kind of biased.
