A variety of studies have purported to find an overwhelming consensus among climate scientists on global warming. However, the studies rarely specify what it is to which the scientists agree. Usually it is nothing more than that the earth has warmed since 1800 and that human activity has contributed significantly to the warming—something almost no skeptics would deny. No study—whether a survey of published articles or a survey directly of scientists—has found anything remotely near a 97 percent consensus not only that the earth has warmed and that human activity has contributed significantly but also that human activity has been the primary driver, that the warming caused by it is dangerous, and that attempting to prevent future warming by reducing CO2 emissions would do more good than harm—and those are the issues debated.

It doesn’t matter. We’re not dealing with integrity and logic here. It’s well known that these hucksters in research and government are willing to make up data to support their crazy theory. Analyzing how they came up with their phony “proof points” is an exercise in futility. They will simply come up with new fake evidence.
I read that it WAS 97%...of scientists in a particular joined group.
More like man made data change instead of climate change.
There, I think that's more accurate now.
There is no question that humans change their local climate--for example, cities are known heat-sinks, and golf courses are usually a few degrees cooler than surrounding areas. But whether those local effects contribute to any global climate, or if they blend into the system background is difficult to say. I'm not sure how that can even be tested. As far as I know, there is no hysteria over the fact that humans intentionally change the local environment.
Where’d you get that old cartoon? Drawn back in the days when there was still snow in winter.
(Remember the moonbats predicting the end of snow?)
And, then there is this from this morning in Reno:
...Storm to Bring Winter-Like Conditions Back to the Region
Sunday...
A strong storm dropping into the region will bring back winter-like
conditions Sunday with high temperatures as much as 25 degrees
below normal. With rain and snow showers, overcast skies and
breezy winds, the temperatures will feel downright frigid,
especially considering it is June.
Overnight low temperatures in the Sierra could stay below
freezing for as many as 3 to 4 more nights. Monday morning will
be the greatest concern in western Nevada with colder valleys
outside of urban centers likely dropping into the mid 30s for
lows. Anyone with sensitive vegetation in these areas should take
the necessary precautions.
Accumulating snow will be possible in the Sierra above 6000 feet
Saturday night through Sunday night with 2-4 inches of snow
possible in the higher elevations above 7000 feet. In northeast
California, 4-8 inches is possible above 6500 feet, with a couple
inches down to 6000 feet. Mountains in western Nevada are also
likely to see several inches of snow accumulation, with up to an
inch for locations such as the Virginia City highlands. With the
June sun angle, snow will melt off rapidly with impacts to
mountain passes likely to be short-lived. However, even a short
burst of accumulating snow can cause a significant travel hazard,
so slow down if you end up in any snow showers.
I suspect that if anyone who made money from research grants to study global warming were to recuse them selves from voting, the pool of scientists that believe in global warming would be around zero.
Seeing that the temperature has been trending down for over a decade...
97% of ~68 caefully selected pseudo-Scientists in some paper by some whacko psychologist from Down Under. Totally bogus.
I remember when 100% of scientists agreed there were only 2 genders.
The “97% consensus” is a perfect example of why nothing coming out of the alarmist community can be trusted. The original “study” that made the claim was thoroughly debunked about 5 minutes after it came out, but years later people like Obama and Kerry are not only repeating it, they are now claiming it is now 99%. How can anyone who repeats such an obvious lie be considered credible about anything? It is a strange world that we live in.
That so-called 95% has been debunked more than a Dan Rather broadcast.
Anyone who actually believes that has not read the plethora of articles explaining where it came from.
In any case, math is not a friend of liberals, which is amply proven by the fact that serious errors in data gathering, data analysis, computer modeling, and conclusions occur hourly and are ignored by the science illiterate so-called “educated” elites.
Of course climate scientists agree about climate change, global warming, increased variability or whatever they change their tune to each time their previous theory gets slammed.
As John Coleman, creator of The Weather Channel and outspoken critic of the above group said, when the vast majority of their funding for climate research comes from the government, of course they’re going to come to the government-approved solutions.
Follow the money.
I’d like to see a real study on what percentage of those climate “scientists” that agree are getting a ton of money from the government.
And once they whittled it doen to the group they wanted, the 97% turns out to be 76 of 78 “scientists”
what about the report that back a few year ago, when there was some warming, scientists also reported that nearby planets were also warming, indicating the change was not human caused. From my reading I have always thought that other than the way nature changes climate, the sun plays a significant part. What say ye??
All you need to know about the 97% meme is:
The guy pushing it is John Cook.
He’s an Australian Cartoonist.
He has a website.
He once posted a picture of himself on said website dressed up as a NAZI.
He’s very strange.
He’s not a credible scientific source.
I remember when 100% of scientists agreed there were only 2 genders.You need to make that brilliant sarcasm your tagline.
