Yes, but who do we believe? Longy said only 30% of scientists believe in global warming. Do we go with the gloom merchants, or mathematical experts like Longy? LW is wrong about the only 30% statement however even if he were correct it does include virtually 100% of the climate scientists. unlike the '97%' claim, the 30% result came out of a peer-reviewed study. and it included all scientists. The 97% "claim" was ONLY made up of climate scientists The "reviewed study" included veterinarians, pharmacists and podiatrists ( ... or any "scientist" looking for a "research grant") - and was "funded" by the Koch Brothers , via the Heartland Institute so if you want to use funding as a credibility test then we can dismiss virtually all climate studes ever done since they were all done by govt funded, biased groups dependent on govt research funds for their existence. So we can dismiss any research findings from a body funded by an international collective of governments - but place all our faith in research funded by a pair of oil barons ? This "flatulencia cerebral" harks back to the days when collective government research was warning us that cigarettes were addictive and causing lung cancerMeanwhile the tobacco industry was telling us that tobacco is non-addictive and clearing our bronchial system Nine out of ten "doctors agreed" 
We'll assume you're with the private research - and oppose Toxic Tony's , so called, Future Fund for Medical Research - as all this research and breakthrough discovery would be "biased"
