Why Climate Deniers Have No Scientific Credibility: Only 1 of 9,136 Recent Peer-Reviewed Authors Rej

I have brought my previous study (see here and here) up-to-date by reviewing peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals over the period from Nov. 12, 2012 through December 31, 2013. I found 2,258 articles, written by a total of 9,136 authors. (Download the chart above here.) Only one article, by a single author in the Herald of the Russian Academy of Sciences, rejected man-made global warming. I discuss that article here.

My previous study, of the peer-reviewed literature from 1991 through Nov. 12, 2012, found 13,950 articles on “global warming” or “global climate change.” Of those, I judged that only 24 explicitly rejected the theory of man-made global warming. The methodology and details for the original and the new study are described here.

Anyone can repeat as much of the new study as they wish–all of it if they like. Download an Excel database of the 2,258 articles here. It includes the title, document number, and Web of Science accession number. Scan the titles to identify articles that might reject man-made global warming. Then use the DOI or WoS accession number to find and read the abstracts of those articles, and where necessary, the entire article. If you find any candidates that I missed, please email me here.

The scientific literature since 1991 contains a mountain of evidence confirming man-made global warming as true and no convincing evidence that it is false. Global warming denial is a house of cards.

In medieval times, there were very few scientists in Western Europe. The folks who were saying the world was flat were Catholic clergy.

Only a scant few “scientists,” and I use that term loosely because the scientific method was still a bit of a cottage industry in those days, were saying the world was round on account of the whole burning at the stake thing....which tends to be...demotivating.

Almost laughable, considering that you are one of the chief proponents here of that specific activity.

Your fear of Yehova’s stated path glows bright red 24/7, and no one has even attempted to coerce you to follow it.

Strange that you even drag it in.

"....the result of disregarding the absence of data from Siberia after the collapse of the Soviet Union."

I think there are all sorts of Manns out there continuing to torture their data.

"Drexel University environmental sociologist Robert J. Brulle, PhD"

Well, there's your Social "Science" right there. Left Wing extremist Government funds just about any academic who proposes to study the effect of Global Warming on just about anything. It's sick and a total waste of Billion$.

“We are awash in squads of high-five’n back slappin fools that try to assert man’s mastery over Yehova’s creation. I hope you’re not one of them?”

You mistake “mastery” for stewardship. On purpose I believe.

Well said & my thought exactly. If something is not peer-reviewed,then it begs a close look at who those “peers” are.

Your stewardship comes not from any commandment, but from a desire to control.

A quick read of 2Peter 2:3 would demonstrate how far off the mark such self appointed goals are:

[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
[11] Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
[12] Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
[13] Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Are you "Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?"

If not, you should be!

Can rubber bands store more energy than a good battery technology of equal weight? equal volume?

Is not the belief that there is any “prehistory” rather laughable in light of what God’s word has revealed to us?

I think the answer to that question hangs on the question of lubricating said rubber band.
