Oh no, he quotes John Cook, an author of 97%. The same bloke who stole scientist Lubos Motl's identity and posted on line as him.

And NASA and NOOA are government "scientific" bodies. And they just changed climate data again on the back of Karl et al 2015. A paper that had statistical significance of 0.10. So much for government credibility.

Credibility Zero.

We should also consider official scientific bodies and what they think about climate change. There are no national or major scientific institutions anywhere in the world that dispute the theory of anthropogenic climate change. Not one.

97 Articles Refuting The "97% Consensus"

Written by Andrew, Popular Technology.net on 21 December 2014.

cartoonThe 97% "consensus" study, Cook et al. (2013) has been thoroughly refuted in scholarly peer-reviewed journals, by major news media, public policy organizations and think tanks, highly credentialed scientists and extensively in the climate blogosphere. The shoddy methodology of Cook's study has been shown to be so fatally flawed that well known climate scientists have publicly spoken out against it,

"The '97% consensus' article is poorly conceived, poorly designed and poorly executed. It obscures the complexities of the climate issue and it is a sign of the desperately poor level of public and policy debate in this country [UK] that the energy minister should cite it."
- Mike Hulme, Ph.D. Professor of Climate Change, University of East Anglia (UEA)

The following is a list of 97 articles that refute Cook's (poorly conceived, poorly designed and poorly executed) 97% "consensus" study. The fact that anyone continues to bring up such soundly debunked nonsense like Cook's study is an embarrassment to science.

From the article by 'Andrew':

Quote:

The shoddy methodology of Cook's study has been shown to be so fatally flawed that well known climate scientists have publicly spoken out against it,

He cites Hulme, but who else?

Quote:

The following is a list of 97 articles that refute Cook's (poorly conceived, poorly designed and poorly executed) 97% "consensus" study. The fact that anyone continues to bring up such soundly debunked nonsense like Cook's study is an embarrassment to science.

Only three of the 'articles' are journal articles.

The first journal article, by economist (not climate scientist) Richard Tol, failed to pass peer-review when submitted to Environmental Research Letters. Ironically, in criticising the analysis done by Cook et al, Tol's own analysis was exposed as shoddy and his criticisms unwarranted:

Google his blog post: Richard Tol Draft Comment on 97% consensus paper
(I can't post hyperlinks)

It's also worth noting that Tol agrees that an overwhelming consensus among climate scientists does exist—he simply disagrees on the exact percentage. Therefore even if this economist's criticisms were valid, deniers would still be hopelessly wrong.

Can't find anything on the second article by Tol, including the full text, so it's impossible to comment on it. There is not even an abstract.

The third journal article by Legates et al makes the claim that only 0.3% of climate science papers, not 97%, endorse the claim of man-made climate change. They get this number by doing the following:

1. Discounted all papers which do not not offer an explicit, unquantified endorsement of the standard definition of man-made climate change.

2. Discounted all papers that met Cook et al's criteria for explicit, unquantified endorsement but don't meet their own criteria.

3. Included all of the papers that expressed 'no position' in the total number of articles.

Therefore, Legates et al could only achieve their ridiculous 0.3% figure by ignoring the majority of climate science articles that endorse the claim on man-made climate change, and have counted 'no position' papers as dissenters.

As for the other 94 articles: who cares?
