Why not? What I'm seeing here is a rather large group of people, unburdened by expertise on the matter in any way, shape or form, discount the work of thousands of scientists based on what appears to be nothing more than a dislike for the conclusions.
That, to me, seems utterly ridiculous.

Yes, a minority.

And since you'll undoubtedly start googling for evidence to the contrary:
http://www.dailytech.com/Survey+Less...rticle8641.htm - meant to disagree with the pdf I linked, but it still has 45% endorsing the idea of human influence on global warming, 48% neutral, and only 6% actually rejecting it.
http://www.sepp.org/Archive/NewSEPP/Bray.htm - this is actually a site that is strongly sceptic towards the idea of global warming (as well as towards the idea of secondhand smoke being harmful - which should make their leanings quite clear), but yet, even in the study quoted here, 55.8% of scientists endorse the idea of human influence on global warming, and only 29% reject it, with the rest being neutral towards it.
No matter how you look at it, those rejecting the idea of human influence on global warming are a minority within the scientific community.
