The 97% Consensus Myth -- One Fake Survey After Another

Claims of a
“scientific consensus”
about global warming 
are a myth.

When you hear the "97%" myth,
the number will be based on an extremely
biased "survey", or abstract-counting
exercise, that starts with the "97%"
conclusion, and then does anything
required to support that number.

Honesty and fairness are not principles
that guide leftist surveys!

A group of Canadian retired Earth 
and atmospheric scientists, called 
themselves "Friends of Science".

They produced a 2014 report that
reviewed four popular 
climate change surveys 
and abstract-counting exercises 
that I will summarize 
in the next four articles.

Friends of Science claim
an honest conclusion based
on all the data received,
without selective editing,
would have been:

(A)
Oreskes actually found 
only 1.2% agreement, 

(B)
Doran and Zimmerman 
actually found only 3.4% agreement, 

(C)
Anderegg et al. actually found 
66% agreement, and 

(D)
Cook et al. actually found 
only 0.54% agreement. 

There is no 97%, 98% or 100% consensus 
on human-caused global warming, 
as claimed in these four fake studies.

Modern climate "science"
was the original fake news,
consisting only of wrong
wild guess predictions
of the future climate,
repeated every year 
for the past 30 years,
with the leftist-biased 
mainstream press 
consistently ignoring 
how inaccurate the 
predictions have been.

It should be no surprise
the fake news is supported by 
fake consensus "studies".

(Not that real science is based
on a vote of scientists).

In the history of science,
a "consensus" was strong
evidence that the underlying
science was wrong --
-- ranging from slightly wrong, 
to completely wrong.

Progress in real science
is almost always from individuals, 
or small teams, that prove the
scientific consensus was wrong, 
often after years of facing
character attacks!

Following are four articles
summarizing the four most
popular fake surveys.

The surveys are used to 
support consistently dishonest
modern climate science, which consists of government
bureaucrats claiming a coming
climate catastrophe, to ensure
their own job security!

(1) 
Predict a climate crisis 
every year.

(2)
Reason given: 
" Because we have 
science degrees,
and we say so ! "

(3) 
Claim you must be right, 
because almost everyone 
you know agrees with you !

(4) 
Claim that 97% of scientists agree, 
so the science must be "settled"
(as if science is ever settled!).
