a little comedic relief during these intense times of upheaval gubamint implosion..

[Olog-hai]

An overwhelming 97 percent of climatologists endorse the idea of human-caused global warming …

Yes, and they say “scientists” in the title. Quite comical, if it weren’t so tragicomical that is.

[OneWingedShark]

Back when I was a kid, you know, less than 20 years ago, we called this “climate change” stuff ‘seasons’.

[ClearCase_guy]

I've always wondered what percentage of climatologists were total morons. Now I know.
97% seems kind of high, but there it is. You can't argue with facts.

[mnehring]

Of course Climate Change is real. That is the definition of climate (a dynamic system....)

What is in dispute are the cause and effects as well as the massive corruption in how science is being used.

[refermech]

Prove it!

[LurkedLongEnough]

Ridiculously transparent of Obama to mandate the release of this information (don’t mention it to him, he’ll just deny it and reward the publisher). And Al Gore will ask for some more ice cream cones in his private jets.

[ForAmerica]

Climate change is real

So is Jesus!

[toddausauras]

Sorry Mr. Scientist, but we don’t believe you anymore. Credibility counts.

[Only1choice____Freedom]

Maybe there was the 97% because there was no funding for opposite results and the 3% are accidental or self funded.

[Bryanw92]

Its so real that they have to change its name every couple years and constantly revise their doom and gloom scenarios.

Of course, climate change is real. Climate changes. That’s a natural process. The planet has been really cold and it has been really hot. It survives and life adapts.

But humans do not change it!

[GOPJ]

Yeah, that’s what science does - they vote on things.

[KittenClaws]

“The public perception of a scientific consensus on [anthropogenic global warming] is a necessary element in public support for climate policy,” conclude the study’s authors. And yet, according to Pew Internet Research (PDF), 57 percent of Americans are unaware that there is an overwhelming scientific consensus.

Translation: “we need the support of the people, but they ain't buying into our krap because they're stupid.”

[dfwgator]

Of course climate changes, but man has nothing to do with it.

[Gay State Conservative]

Climate change? Who knows? Man made? Sorry,no sale.Too much evidence...*scientific* evidence...of changes in climate that occurred while mankind was still hunting mastodons that were far more dramatic than anything that *might* be happening now.Also,there have been articles recently that have stated both that there's evidence that the sun has recently been putting out more energy than it historically does *and* that there's evidence that the other planets of our solar system have also been warming recently.Not many SUVs on Mercury I'm told.

And...anyone who's ever been to China recently (as I have) knows that the clearest day you'll possibly see there is far worse than the worst day you'll see in LA or London.And unlike London what you're seeing there is caused by 10,000 coal powered power plants and an equal number of factories that don't even make an *effort* to limit pollution.

[Rocky]

Imagine. 97% of “climatologists” who live off of government grants are saying the manmade climate change is real and that the government should continue to support research to prove it.

[lonestar67]

Note this intriguing point at the bottom of the original article :
“
It’s worth noting that 97 percent of scientists contacted did not feel they had taken a position endorsing the primacy of anthropogenic climate change in their respective papers”

So the authors of the climate articles did not agree with the surveyed assessments.

[Flightdeck]

Even if the climate is changing (and it always is), and even if humans are a contributing factor (and we likely are), this “consensus” doesn’t mean jack because none of them know how significant the human feedback term is (likely not so much) or the practical, on-the-ground effect of the climate change (likely not anywhere near as devastating as the alarmists would have you believe).

[ConradofMontferrat]

Oh, Jumping Jesus on a freakin pogo stick.

I just remember about the “population time bomb”. We are all suppose to be dead now.

I remember “GLOBAL COOLING” and we are all suppose to be dead now.

[MNDude]

Anyone remember this? http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=5ndHwW8psR8

[E. Pluribus Unum]

An overwhelming 97 percent of climatologists endorse the idea of human-caused global warming.

The only time you get a 97 percent endorsement is when you are talking about votes for Joe Stalin or Saddam Hussein.

Doesn't happen without coercion or group-think.
