A good article explaining the cold temperatures much of north america has been experiencing:
http://www.skepticalscience.com/warming-arctic-weird-weather.html
http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/pastglobalwarming
Yet the article from the link I supplied also indicates that global warming could also be a natural cycle that happens on earth and has happened several times over earth's history, especially when you look at global warming from a geological time scale.
You mean, it isn't settled? 
These scientists have said that it is not possible to project global climate accurately enough to justify the ranges projected for temperature and sea-level rise over the next century. They may not conclude specifically that the current IPCC projections are either too high or too low, but that the projections are likely to be inaccurate due to inadequacies of current global climate modeling.David Bellamy, botanist.

That you look at a mere 57 individuals that disagree with concept 'Climate Change, without understanding....WHAT...their issues are exactly; is a sad and desperate attempt to still have an argument in this thread. How many scientists exist in the America, Kirata? And the evidence shows many of those support the Theory of Climate Change. Yes, there will be people that disagree with the evidence. There were people that thought the entire atmosphere would burn away if an atomic denotation took place. And people thought it was impossible to duplicate tissue.
What your not understanding of the scientists listed above is not that they completely disagree with climate change. Their disagreements are a whole couple of levels more complicated than what your suggesting. That you will cling onto one of these individuals and say "HA! This person disagrees with the Theory, therefore, the whole there, mountains of evidence, and all your liberal conspiracies are unfounded' is not an argument; just some desperate conservative that has no clue what they're babbling about. I'm just going to save you from getting hard-core bashed by everyone. Its happened on the forums, when this subject has come up. Those that did it, got bashed. It didnt work for them, it will not work for you.
Consensus in science operates a bit differently than you might be used to without an organization of people.Scientist do not leave out the possibility that they haven't discovered something that would disprove the current understanding of climate change. Let's just say for the sake of the argument something did. Scientists (unlike deniers) would sit down and consider the information, and run experiments with this new information. Testing outcomes and forming conclusions on it and how it relates to climate change. Then form a new viewpoint that incorporates the new information with all the other information and move forward again. Science, unlike religion, can self-correct after finding information that doesnt fit with understanding of a concept.
Deniers on the other hand, would see that information as justification that they were right all along. And would be shown as a pack of idiots when the scientist convene to discussion and form a new conceptual idea that puts the new information in with the old.
This will be a very good article for you to study up on.
