But the “97 percent of scientists believe in global warming” mantra became gospel on May 16, 2013, when President Obama tweeted “Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made, and dangerous.”
What the president was referring to was a 2013 paper by the University of Queensland’s John Cook. In his research, Cook studied 11,994 papers published between 1991 and 2011 that mentioned the search words “global warming” and “global climate change.”
Guess what Cook actually found? Only 32.6 percent of the papers endorsed the view of anthropogenic (man-made) global warming. But of that group, 97 percent said that “recent warming is mostly man-made.”

When it comes to insisting their ideas like “climate change” be followed, they are creative liars.
On second thought, they are creative liars generally.
Baraq has become such a pro at lying that Satan has put him on staff full-time...
I don’t think he’s a very good liar. I don’t believe anything he says.
Cook is a crook and certainly NOT a scientist.
Old news, but can’t be repeated enough.
Let me know when NBC and the NYT run stories in this...
So if we ask the other 2/3sof scientists if Global Warming exists then we would have 100% of scientists do not believe global warming happened due to man made causes. Might make a good tweet from Trump. It would make others have to explain themselves thus proving this 97% of scientists BS wrong... Trump should tweet 100% of scientists do not believe climate change is real and reference the same article Obama did.
Try,Nine out of ten tasters prefer Coke over Pepsi.
Just wait and see what the FTC has to say?
Since Satan is the father of lies, I think the Obungler qualifies to be the son. They can commiserate for eternity together.
this is the same method hillary and obama used to describe US made weapons confiscated in mexico. it eventually was revealed that the number (don’t remember it off hand) was in actuality a percentage of a percentage. iow - they freaking lie
The right doesn’t usually respond well to global warming questions.
Instead of saying, “I don’t believe in global warming.” They should always start with “I believe in having a clean environment. Me and my family enjoy the outdoors. Future generations should be left with a clean planet. However, the science of global warming isn’t conclusive. There has to be a balance ........ yada ... yada ... “
Liberals try to make conservatives look like they don’t care if we have a clean planet. That’s not true. It’s just that we’re not all buying into their junk science.
I don't know about NBC and NYT, but this has been covered extensively since 2013 when Cook first published his data. There is even Wikipedia page on it.
On intervals the deniers re-invent their criticism of Cook to try to make you think that they are plowing fresh ground.
Last year it was Rick Santorium who disputed Cook.
Here's Cook's article from 2015 where he discusses the methodology that the deniers(in this case Rick Santorum) use:
Rick Santorum Tries to Use My Research to Cast Doubt on My Other Research
Baraq has become such a pro at lying that Satan is worried about his job security.
I simply negate whatever he says and that is the truth. Satan isn’t so blatant. Satan tells you he is able to give you food, great riches and power and protection if you just follow him.
You’ll also see a lot of “studies” use either 1860 or 1910 (or there about) as a reference. No coincidence that - those were cool years. In the normal fluctuations and cycles of temperature, there are going to be highs, and there are going to be lows. So if you pick a time when those fluctuations and cycles result in several years of relatively low temperature... Well, then everything else starts looking pretty warm in comparison. Data manipulation 101.
There is a certain element of tautology at play. Scientists are defined as those who support AGW or Man Caused Climate Change.
