One of the only arguments used by climate catastrophists is the 97%. Not anymore.

97% Consequential Misperceptions: Ethics of Consensus on Global Warming https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2887245

>The notion of consensus defies the fundamental principle of scientific inquiry which is not about agreement, but rather a continuous search for understanding. This paper evaluates key disparities of Cook et al (2016) and outlines why a claimed consensus is a powerful tool for driving public policy, but an inappropriate and unethical means of conducting scientific inquiry or informing the public.

>The 97% figure suggests "all" scientists have been surveyed, and indeed so the President’s tweet literally reads, when this is not the case.

>“In 2012, there were 6.2 million scientists and engineers (as defined in this report) employed in the United States” with some 4% or 248,000 working in the physical sciences.” http://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R43061.pdf

>Humans are highly compliant, herd mentality beings who are easily swayed by apparent majority views, especially by role-dominant experts. Asch (1951) Schacter (1951) Cialdini (2007)

>Humans are strongly averse to rejection or exclusion.Sarnoff & Zimbardo (1962) Williams (2007)

>Consequently, the claim that a statistical majority, nearly 100% of role-dominant expert individuals like scientists agree to a sweeping statement about climate change, is very effective in swaying public opinion.

"Earth scientists are some of the more skeptical in light of the vast temperature changes they have studied over the past 4 billion years."

"In the geologic record, carbon dioxide is seen as a consequence of the earth’s climate, nominally a cause, and there is no correlation between temperature and carbon dioxide levels in geologic time."

"Carbon dioxide has been at very high levels while temperatures were extremely cold and vice versa."

>Doran & Zimmerman (2009) is based on Zimmerman (2008). Numerous earth scientist respondents to Zimmerman (2008) explained their view by email that the sun was the main direct and indirect driver of climate change, not humans or carbon dioxide.

>Indeed, as a result of that study author Zimmerman wrote: “I think I'm actually more neutral on the issue now than I was before I started this project.”(pp. 126)

>This important expression of uncertainty by a co-author of a consensus paper and these relevant views by earth scientists (a climate science discipline) are not mentioned, falsely inflating the cause and claim of consensus in Cook et al (2016).

>Cook et al (2016) cite consensus statements by national academies of science, though most of these were made before 2009, over a decade prior to the news of the IPCC reported their 2013 AR5 (Flato et al 2013) that there had been a 15-year hiatus in warming with temperature trends of “values very close to zero” (despite a significant rise in carbon dioxide concentration in that time).

>Cook et al (2016) inaccurately describes Oreskes (2004) (an article not a peer-reviewed study) as having “100% consensus” when Oreskes actually wrote: “Of all the papers, 75% fell into the first three categories, either explicitly or implicitly accepting the consensus view; 25% dealt with methods or paleoclimate, taking no position on current anthropogenic climate change.”

I also suggest taking a look at Dr. Judith Curry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L5AVBOh4SM& as she clearly explains this issue very well.

>Judith A. Curry is an American climatologist and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her research interests include hurricanes, remote sensing, atmospheric modeling, polar climates, air-sea interactions, and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for atmospheric research. She is a member of the National Research Council's Climate Research Committee. As of 2017, she has retired from academia.

>Curry was a Professor and former Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology; she held the latter position from 2002 to 2013.

There's a super famous picture of a dead polar bear that "starved from climate change" that used to make the rounds. That bear was almost 30 years old, and starved because his teeth rotted.

I think about 63% of scientists researching the subject had no stand on global warming. Out of the rest 97% were for global warming and 3% were against.
So saying 97% were agreeing with global warming is huge manipulation.
Anyway, we should respect our planet, so we won't cook like lobsters, but currently global warming is used only for filling pockets of speculators. First thing first I would do something with commercial transport instead of fucking with my beloved 1.9TDi, the only good thing that came from Germany.

This. My dad's an environmental engineer and he believes in abiotic petroleum and has zero concerns about man-made climate change.

I just don't understand how someone with anything resembling an objective mind and an understanding of geological time could get worried about a foot or two of sealevel rise over a couple hundred years, knowing that the sea is documented to have risen over 500 feet over the past 20,000 years (a blink of an eye, geologically).

What about the fact that all trans-helium elements were formed by the same process (supernovae in the early universe as the first, supermassive hydrogen stars burned through their fuel and exploded), a process in which the abundance of elements is inversely proportional to their atomic numbers.

meaning that hypothetically, there is a hell of a lot more carbon and hydrogen out there than there is iron, silicon, and the other heavier elements that form the majority of our planet. This is confirmed by the composition of the gas giants such as Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus, all of which contain incredible masses of liquid/gaseous methane within them.

That being the case, what's to say that as the pre-planetary material that eventually became our planet coalesced, that there weren't methane comets, etc added to that mix and trapped in what became the core/mantle as our planet continued to form.

From there, it isn't too far of a stretch to imagine the incredible heat and pressure polymerizing some of those pockets into longer-chain hydrocarbons that all slowly worked their way up through the less-dense ferro-silicate material around them until they found themselves trapped by impermeable layers in the crust where some of them ended up getting stratified into coal.

I'm no geologist, but from my knowledge of astronomy, that doesn't seem like too far-fetched of a hypothesis.

Scientists should "debate" such things, if by you debate you mean gather data about something is or isnt true, and they do do that all the time, its not like they stopped gathering data on the climate, and everytime they get more data it confirmed something that was previously known.

My point is normal stupid people who dont know what their talking about arent entitled to not being told their opinion goes against every single scientist. Policy should be based on scientific data, not misinformed peoples opinions.

polar bears are thriving to the extent that a cul is being planned, meanwhile on U.K. TV we have adverts from an ngo begging for charitable contributions to help save the polar bears who, the ngo claim, are in danger from disappearing ice caused by climate change.

This is the ice and glaciers we were told would be gone by 06 because of climate change.

Huh? This is like a high school essay.

>The 97% figure suggests "all" scientists have been surveyed, and indeed so the President’s tweet literally reads, when this is not the case.

No shit. There is something called statistics. For example, a recent Kaiser Family poll on Obamacare found 49% supported Obamacare, 42% opposed it, and 9% had no opinion or did not answer. As 1205 people were polled, it was determined the numbers have a margin of error of 3%.

A sample is asked, and a number is determined, with a statistical margin of error. The larger the sample is, the lower the margin of error is. This is something everyone understands.

How moronic.

Also, this was written by some random person. It could be a high school student - it probably is.

That's fair. If I say something and 99% people disagree, you can look at the situation and say in a neutral tone that I am saying something that 99% disagree with. That's very pointless but you can do that. I'm not sure why that's important. You have a very strange point. Thanks for sharing your point with us. Your opinion is important.

Similar to claims about the number of homeless in America. Supposedly there were 2.5 million in the 80s, expected to climb to 3 million -- so news reports just said there are 3 million homeless in America.

The number it turns out, was just made up to sound impressive -- it is very, very difficult to get a count on homeless people, and nobody had done so.

The left is bad about just throwing some made up number out there, and the media is bad about fact checking them.

My only question is"to what degree".
What percentage agree not JUST that climate change is real but that it has an anthropogenic source.
And of those, to what degree so they claim humans are involved?
100 50 30 percent?

I did read the article.
It is restricted to one very specific case involving a grand total of one scientist named Haruko Obokata and no one else.

It doesn't say a single thing about your imagined culture of making shit up in the scientific community.

Which lead me to believe its you that has not read the article. You probably got it of some retarded news aggregate and only read their misleading headline

>>128917981
Yes you can verify the data, i mean not you but anybody who knows what theyre talking about. You can ask for universities and goverment agencies for data, you will be given that data, and will be able to compare it with your own data. That is what scientists do, and that is how you are able to confirm the accuracy and authenticity of data. But if retards like you decide to make up nonsensical conspiracies and dismiss every single one of those scientists only because they have a degree and unlike you do understand the data, youre simply retarded and need some tinfoil on your head.

A quick skim does not show any surveys of scientists, it shows "surveys" of publications by climate scientists. Not the same thing at all. Will look at it in more detail later, maybe I am missing the information I cam looking for.

But (and again after a quick skim) I am not seeing in your link a statistical survey of scientists of the sort described in >>128913995, where a representative sample is asked and a statistical analysis is performed to work out, to within a margin of error, what the population under consideration thinks.

From your source:
>The orbit of Mars regularly undergoes changes that greatly affect how much sunlight reaches the planet's surface, which in turn can strongly alter the Red Planet's climate. Similar orbital variations called Milankovitch cycles are known to happen on Earth.
How are martian orbital cycles related to earth?

So they aren't saying that the sun is radiating more which would effect earth the same as mars. Did you even read the thing or just came to a conclusion from the headline?

Noone is saying there is a conspiracy by 97% of the scientists, because the 97% number is false in the first place. Unfortunately this field has been politicized too much and there totally is a political agenda to promote the myth of catastrophic climate change, so you might want to equate "oil companies" with the "government" and other lobbies.

Usually I cringe when people compare statism or atheism to a religion but in the case of climate change I really think it works like a religion. Catastrophists will try to make you look goofy by accusing you of believing that there is a major conspiracy of every scientist but this is not the case at all. It's about public opinion and politics. CO2 and energy consumption are like the original sin, you have to atone for these sins and this is why you need to trust your government blindly on this issue, granting them more and more power just like you would trust your priest or whatever. You are part of a noble movement to save the Earth that will bring everyone together and you feel good being part of that movement. Something greater than yourself.

They don't need to. Everyone can see the weather patterns are becoming unstable. The seas are rising. The polar ice is melting at an accelerating rate. The coral reefs are dying. The polar bears and penguins colonies are getting wiped out.

We can see the actual physical evidence that the Earth is getting warmer. How bone-jarring retarded would have to be to not accept that it's happening?

Tbqh, there was a huge temperature increase in 2015 that has sparked the interest of environmentalists again. But the data does point out that they overestimated climate sensitivities. IPCC places them at 3ºC. You have loads and loads of studies showing them to be at around 1.5-2ºC

Thousands of years ago you could buy a plot of land for a few baskets of bread and then spend the rest of your life farming the land, working much shorter days than we work today, out in the sun and in nature, enjoying life. Thanks to technology we waste our childhood and early adulthood confined to liberalism indoctrination centers (schools), and then spend our entire adulthood trapped in unstable underpaying careers that offer no freedom and barely any vacation, and the only jobs that pay well will leave you miserable.

The fact that his links to whatever studies he's citing don't actually go anywhere kind of does that

>47% and 64%

Economic Geologists are people in the oil, gas, and mining industries, yes. AGW would be VERY bad for business. Meteorologists are mostly weather predictors, not climatologists. your source even says there is broad scientific consensus, its just the public that's skeptical

>53 and 20

19 is not a usable sample size, and agronomists is just a fancy name for farmers. Paying attention to the weather is not the same as climate science.
