First of all, here is a more recent (recency isn't important tho right? What could we have learned in only five years?? lol) study published in Nature (one source you cite) entitled "At Least Three Quarters Of Climate Change Is Man Made."

Secondly, when you do a simple google search on Richard S. Lindzen (a generally well respected professor at MIT), after the wikipedia about him and his own page, the third result is literally titled: "Is Richard S. Lindzen deliberately lying, or just deluded?" Yes it is an opinion piece, but it is indicative of the opinions of the vast majority of climate scientists, from the little I've studied about it. He is basically the most credible scientist of the "opposition" to the idea that recent global climate changes have humans to blame. That being said, the ratio of scientists who agree with him, as this article cites, is 97 against, 3 for:
The survey, conducted among researchers listed in the American Geological Institute's Directory of Geoscience Departments*, "found that climatologists who are active in research showed the strongest consensus on the causes of global warming, with 97 percent agreeing humans play a role". The biggest doubters were petroleum geologists (47 percent) and meteorologists (64 percent). A recent poll suggests that 58 percent of Americans believe that human activity contributes to climate change. Read more at http://news.mongabay.com/2009/0122-climate.html.

Fuck off with your bullshit, "doc."
