Oh very very definitely !!!

You've sadly missed the point of this list of peer reviewed papers. It has been compiled by a member of a Libertarian (i.e. extreme right wing US) think tank which was a member of the Cooler Heads Coalition - google that in wiki and see who fellow travellers are/were.

My point about many of the ideas being debunked followed from a quick scan where I saw from the titles things like 'it was the sun wot did it' and 'cosmic rays are to blame' and so on - these are largely the tedious attempts at disinformation and doubt by Libertarian AGW denialists which have been debunked time and time again by the serious scientific community.

Since you have a penchant for this sort of thing, George, perhaps you could survey how many peer reviewed scientific papers have been published in the same period which are in favour of AGW.

Nancy Oreskes studies would be a good starting point.
