97 percent of climate scientists agree — climate change is real and man-made. Stand up for bold action: http://ofa.bo/2a8V4rM #ActOnClimate

Like throwing rocks through the windows of the other 3%. Consensus!

So Dentyne can only get 80% of dentists to agree that sugarless gum is better for you and we’re supposed to believe 97% of climatologists agree on this?
I might be gullible, but please don’t accuse me of being stupid.
The real hoax is that government can fix it.
..The real hoax is that government can fix just about anything.
“97 percent of climate scientists” = 97% of scientists whose paychecks depend on climate problems. Predicting anything with climate/weather is almost a shell game at best. If they predict a 10% chance of rain, and I cancel plans for 9 days which do not have any rain, but then it does rain on the 10th prediction…That’s a win in their records. If they are completely wrong, THEN it’s “just Mother Nature”.
Actually, a shell game is entirely predictable: the guy with the shells wins. In this case liberal statists are the guys with the shells and taxpayers are the suckers.
The whole “97%” bull$hit is totally made up and this has been known for YEARS, it was 97% of people from ONE online survey YEARS AGO and this has been known for just as long and yet this clown keeps saying it because the clowns that listen to him are too damn stupid to bother finding out for themselves. 97% of people don’t agree on ANYTHING and 51% + are too ignorant to realize that.
Of course it’s bullshit. Facts tend to not agree with the Narrative.
It’s even worse… It was a cherry-picked survey of published literature, not even a survey.
Climate Change: Mr. Obama, 97 percent of Experts Is a Bogus Number
Fox | May 28, 2015 | Richard Tol
Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: Climate change is real, man-made and dangerous. President Obama tweeted that, and it has been repeated by countless others. It is tempting for a politician to claim that 97 percent of experts agree with you. But do they?
The 97 percent claim was taken from a study paper by Australian John Cook, Climate Communications Fellow for the Global change Institute at the University of Queensland, and his colleagues, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters in May, 2013. The paper says nothing about the would-be dangers of climate change and it counts the number of publications, rather than the number of scientists, in support of human-made climate change. Never let facts get in the way of a good story.
The paper is a treasure trove of how-not-to lessons for a graduate class on survey design and analysis: the sample was not representative, statistical tests were ignored, and the results were misinterpreted.
What was an incompetent piece of research has become a highly influential study, its many errors covered up.
[The guy who did the “study” took 12,000 papers, threw out 8,000 that didn’t agree with him, and he counted the remaining scientists whose papers made clear that even if one believes that man has an effect it’s infinitesimally small. But still they were counted as being in agreement.]

97% of climate scientists throw like girls.
Lincoln was slightly wrong, it appears you only need to fool enough of the people enough of the time to be successful.
And the sun gets a vote; probably the biggest vote of all
