Climate Alarmists Caught Doctoring '97 Percent Consensus' Claims
By James Taylor

Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Global warming alarmists have been caught doctoring the
results of a widely cited paper asserting there is a 97
percent scientific consensus regarding human-caused
global warming. After taking a closer look at the paper,
investigative journalists report the authors’ claims of a
97 percent consensus relied on them misclassifying the
papers of some of the world’s most prominent global
warming skeptics. At the same time, the authors
deliberately presented a meaningless survey question that
allowed them to twist the responses to fit their own
preconceived global warming alarmism.
Misleading Question
Global warming alarmist John Cook, founder of the
misleadingly named blog site Skeptical Science, published
a paper with several other global warming alarmists
claiming they reviewed nearly 12,000 abstracts of studies
published in the peer-reviewed climate literature. Cook
reported he and his colleagues found 97 percent of the
papers that expressed a position on human-caused global
warming “endorsed the consensus position that humans are
causing global warming.”
As is the case with other ‘surveys’ alleging an
overwhelming scientific consensus on global warming, the
question surveyed did not address the issues of
contention between global warming alarmists and skeptics.
The question Cook and his colleagues surveyed was simply
whether humans have caused some global warming. Most
skeptics, like most alarmists, believe humans have caused
some global warming. The issue dividing the two is
whether humans are causing a global warming crisis
demanding concerted action.

The only question would be how can anyone take seriously the "work" of

paid propagandist for warmballer climate change OZ foundation? This
clown who is Sam Wormley's favorite "proof" site of everything warm, has
been an indefatigable worker creating fake and skewed data and plots
proving the warmist theories.
You might as well believe a paper from BP that drilling in the Gulf of
Mexico actually cleans up pollution on the coastline. You know that is
TRUE!
