Banana "Earl" for those in Brooklyn
where I lived while getting my MBA
in Manhattan.
The Zimmerman Doran
fake survey produced
a 97% consensus number
so frequently thrown
at skeptics.
Leftists will rarely know
anything about the survey,
except the number 97%.
They won't know
the main question
was worded so anyone
who believed, or assumed,
humans had ANY effect
on the climate,
no matter how small,
would have qualified for
a broad interpretation
of the 97%,
including me,
believe it or not.
Of course they
didn't want skeptics
like me in their 97%.
so they arbitrarily deleted
survey responses to get
to a more 'pure" 97%.
Of course the goal
of the survey
was a very high
"consensus of scientists"
number such as 97%,
so any editing used
to get to that number
was considered by
the smarmy leftists
to be justified.
The main problem
with the survey
was they sent it
to 10,250 scientists,
about 7,000 of them
didn’t bother to respond,
and the ones who did respond
... didn’t come anywhere
close to their 97% goal.
So they selected
only 77 scientists
who had published papers
in the past three years,
and 75 of them agreed
on both questions.
That's how
75 out of 10,250
becomes 97% !
It looks like more
global warmunist
fraud to me.
