97% of “climate scientist” are living off of liberal government grants. The grants are dependent on them producing so called studies showing CO2 causes Global Warming. Case closed.

“Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.” — Michael Crichton

So, based on their questions, and the resulting answers, a more correct conclusion would be:

97% of the self-identified 'Climate Scientists' who responded to our poll believe that human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures, based on their own personal definition of the word 'significant'.

But, I guess that's not 'startling' enough for them...

The poor phrasing and the ambiguity of certain essential terms renders the entire study useless.
Polls follow the same poor phrasing and ambiguity trend.

Excellent explicit analysis here.

As a scientist I have never never been deceived that there is not agenda in the practice of science, that is just the way it is, the way the human ego interferes in objective inquiry. It is in fact the non-scientist, and dull, who fall for the black-and-white presentation by mass media.

The struggle in science (one of the struggles) is to challenge and question, with the intent of some final revelations, which, given the complexity of the Earth and Solar gestalt, we are not even close to in "modeling" climate change on the planet.

And incidentally the reference here to "struggle" only more clarifies that the LEFT is a manifestation of laziness, human laziness, laziness of mind, laziness of initiative, laziness to examine. Hence the agenda-ridden bigotry.

Thank You, "Sam," or whomever. You are not one of the lazy ones.

Science is not based on consensus. I am certain that 97% of scholars prior to Galileo believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that the sun and planets moved around it. Galileo pointed his telescope to the heavens, made observations and concluded that the consensus of scholars was wrong. He of course was branded a “denier”(i.e.heretic) of the earth centered universe and was made to recant his heresy and imprisoned in his own home until his death. It was only during the mid 20th century that the Catholic Church took his book off the index of forbidden books.

What’s more, Doran and Zimmerman miscalculated their result. Even after they excluded 3067 of the 3146 responses for their degree-of-consensus calculation, the result was actually only 94.9%, not 97%. See:
