Here is an email reply I got from Richard Lintzen, a giant in the field of climate science, when I asked if he was polled in that survey:

No I wasn't, but that hardly matters. The question dealt only with such matters as 1) is there a greenhouse effect, 2) is CO2 a greenhouse gas, and 3) has the temperature increased over the past 150 years. None of these implies any basis for alarm, and I could readily agree with them. These surveys are largely misleading shell games.

Good day Sir,
I am writing to ask a simple question: Were you, or any other well known skeptic, invited to take part in that infamous poll which stated that "Of those surveyed, 97% agreed about AGW"?
Skepticalscience.org quotes this but it is still a mystery to me just who put out the questionnaire and who was asked to respond. Opaque, to say the least. I believe that to qualify, a scientist needed to have 20 papers published on the topic and you certainly meet that minimum requirement.
How was this survey organized, were you invited to respond"?
Kind regards,
