I can't help directly.  But it seems to me that there's a requirement missing 
from your request.  The missing requirement is the _purpose_ of the forum.  Is 
it scientific, in which case, scientists are allowed to be what they normally 
are: skeptical of everything?  Is it political, in which case, the best 
participants will be popularizers or public intellectuals?  Is it social, in 
which case, there's a need for science/policy crossovers?

I think filling that missing link will lead to a more effective choice of the 
"doubter" you seek.

In the meantime, could you possibly help me with the following.  Clark
University is proposing a forum on climate change.  I want that forum to be
honest, so I am wondering if anybody in this group can propose me the names
of some skeptics who are sober, thoughtful, and have not resorted to
throwing snowballs in the senate, so I could propose those names to the
convening committee.  My thought was that in a forum on climate change,
which would include, of course, many sessions on consequences and
remediation, should be at least one in which the whole consensus is put in
doubt.
