Global Warming Truth

[happyfunball]

East Coast USA checking in. The winter has been essentially nonexistant. A few very cold days last month, a little snow, and now, mid-end January, it's been spring-like for weeks. Not quite spring, but certainly nothing like a normal winter. Blame it or don't blame it on whatever you want, there's no way to deny how mild this winter is. Without exaggeration, I've never seen a winter like this.

Global warming is real, and we should be worried

I don't think so. Readers of this article don't seem to agree with its content!

silverfish,
"Readers" ?   Now that's being scientific, LOL. Not. Now lets all judge by what "readers" say, and not scientists, lol.

BTW, nice article 4Tesla.

Whoops , seems the claim that 97% of scientists agree was a typo , it should read 7%.  I warned you not to rely on Wikipedia for facts. (You will note that this 97% claim came from one of over 5,000 Wikipedia edits/deletions/bannings related to climate change undertaken by  William M Connolley.)

OMG, you people are trying to hard now, out right being deceitful.  WikiPedia shows the reference to the "over 97%" figure, and if you even bothered to read the pdf you would see that they provided the numbers so you can even do your own math. It is not a typo. Over 97% of active publishing climatologist believe humanity is the significant cause of global warming.

What I'm seeing here is a truck load of *anonymous* people posting under various usernames at various blog sites & forums out right lying about global warming. Big Oil has already been caught paying millions of dollars to people & groups who are against the global warming movement.

A, you people are trying to hard now, out right being deceitful.  A shows the reference to the "over 97%" figure, and if you even bothered to read the pdf you would see that they provided the numbers so you can even do your own math. It is not a typo. Over 97% of active publishing climatologist believe humanity is the significant cause of global warming.

Once again, yes Lowrance, lets look at your 97% quote from the link above:

"(79 individuals in total). Of these specialists, 96.2% (76 of 79)answered “risen” to question 1 and 97.4% (75 of 77) answered yes to question 2."

You still use that silly quote that includes only 79 people, and only 77 of them agreed (97%). Your "Over 97% of active publishing climatologist believe humanity is the significant cause of global warming." quote is dishonest and deceptive. It is based off of only 77 out of 79 people.

Paul,

The survey you so famously quote was sent to all geosciences faculty at reporting academic institutions, along with researchers at state geologic surveys associated with local universities, and researchers at U.S. federal research facilities (e.g., U.S. Geological Survey, NASA, and NOAA (U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). Where out of 10,257 Earth scientists only 3146 responded to the survey.  Of which only 30.7% answered your famous quote.  So how is it that 30.7% is a consensus?

Also only 90% of all that participated stated yes to question 1, only 82% said yes to question 2.  Why are these results dropped for just the scientists that published a paper in the last 5 years?  Are they not scientists too?  They are not valid?  or is it that they are dropped so that it can read better if 76 people out of 79 agree, to make it 96.2 agreement to each question.
