Debunking the 97% 'consensus' on global warming
http://www.americanthinker.com ^ | February 4, 2014 | Thomas Lifson

The main pillar of the warmist argument is the contention that a "consensus" exists among scientists that global warming is caused by man and threatens catastrophe. But a Canada-based group calling itself Friends of Science has just completed a review of the four main studies used to document the alleged consensus and found that only 1 - 3% of respondents "explicitly stated agreement with the IPCC declarations on global warming," and that there was "no agreement with a catastrophic view."

One of Bill Klinton’s “1000 scientists” that signed on to global warming was a barber.

It is well known 99% of all global warming is naturally occurring they even wanted to tax cows for farting due to that being one of the largest contributors.

So when 99% is naturally occurring, mankind cannot be the primary cause and their arguments always die on facts.

Of course they’re lying. The left constantly must rely on lies to support its insane view of the world.

Any supposed scientist that uses the word “concensus” to describe the scientific method should be stripped of all their academic credentials.

I started to read the report the article was based on. It said that in one study, 66% of the scientists agreed with the IPCC, meaning that 44% did not.

With “math skills” such as those, I didn’t have to go any farther.

In research, “concensus” is demonstrable... so unless a number or a percentage is given, to corroborate the ‘consensus’ statement... it’s a lie.

Research is ABOUT producing these numbers and in their absence, we can only assume that the statement is bogus

The real test of a scientific theory is its ability to predict physical phenomena. The theory of global warming bases its claims on a number of computer models that have shown very little predictive accuracy. This is political, not scientific.
