A constant refrain from Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) believers is that "the science is settled" and "no respected/authoritative scientist disagrees with the fact that humans have caused climate change".
Piffle!
List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming is a list maintained in Wikipedia. Last count (11 April 2011) was forty.
