Right.
Links from:

Real Climate -- Climate Science from Climate Scientists, links notable for two glaring ommisions...
The first, the disclaimer that,

" The contributors to this site do so in a personal capacity during their spare time and their posts do not represent the views of the organizations for which they work, nor the agencies which fund them. The contributors are solely responsible for the content of the site and receive no remuneration for their contributions."

In other words, anonymous individual opinions.

More importantly, there is a breathtaking lapse in that the Climate Scientists contributing to that blog are not identified. Al Gore calls himself a "climate scientist". How seriously are we to take their anonymous contributions if they won't (or can't) even identify themselves?

A site like that should have the confidence to identify all the contributors by name.
Absent that, their jabber has no more authority for me than pro and con civilians here on FR discussing climate change.

Finally, linking to isolated remarks by anonymous authors without providing the complete context of the remarks is dissimulation in the extreme, and simply more background noise in the discussion.

Most of the articles have an author attribution.

Regular contributors are on the right side. There are also authored guest contributions.

* Gavin Schmidt
* Michael Mann
* Eric Steig
* William Connolley
* Ray Bradley
* Stefan Rahmstorf
* Rasmus Benestad
* Caspar Ammann
* Thibault de Garidel
* David Archer
* Ray Pierrehumbert

I Googled a couple just to provide more info on who they are.

I provided links to the articles I quoted from, and as you can see, attributions are given.
