This is exactly on. When a large amount of grant money to universities only comes in from the government if they support climate change - this a creates a climate of fear where no one is allowed to doubt it. It is religious dogma and non-believers are hounded out. This even extends into undergraduate classes. My daughter's professor at App State would give anyone an F if they made any statement doubting AGW.
Only one paper out of thousands of all papers with the words "climate change" "global warming" denied it. You are trying to make up your own facts.
Frankly, a climatologist would have to be an idiot to not understand that rising levels of GHG's will and has caused the earth to warm. It's incredibly simple and obvious. That's why only 3% deny it. And they work for Exxon.
The retarded parrot learned a new word..... isn't that exciting. Now back to his usual "97%" squawking.

And yet you should be saying "Oh yeah! I wonder why the author did not know of the multiple studies polls and surveys that lead to the 97% ? This is obviously a propaganda bullshit article of no value. Sorry for putting out such crap as if it was good"
There is only ONE --- read it again ONE survey that showed a 97% result. And this only occurred when Doran/Zimmerman trimmed the 3146 respondents down to 77 which they magically declared to be "climatologists". Of these 75, agreed with two questions - leading to their 97% figure. Read it again - there is only ONE survey that somehow played with the result data to arrive at "97%" - there are NO other surveys providing this result. BTW reading an abstract for a paper and inferring a scientists position on global warming is not a survey.
fraudcurrents posts b.s. this is reality... which is why a peer reviewed paper found that only 41 out of 11000 papers supported the consensus nutters like fraudcurrents support.
You are such an incredible tool, it's actually comical. P.T. Doran, the author of the paper you cite: Peter Doran, Ph.D. is Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago.[1] Doran specializes in polar regions, especially Antarctic climate and ecosystems. Doran was the lead author of a research paper about Antarctic temperatures that was published in the journal Nature in January 2002. Because he and his colleagues found that some parts of Antarctica had cooled between 1964 and 2000, his paper has been frequently cited by opponents of the global warming theory, such as Ann Coulter and Michael Crichton. In an opinion piece in the July 27, 2006 New York Times, Doran characterized this as a "misinterpretation" and stated, "I have never thought such a thing ... I would like to remove my name from the list of scientists who dispute global warming." [2] (The temporary phenomenon is related to the "hole" in the ozone. As the "hole heals" the Antarctic will dramatically warm quickly. ) Doran and his grad student Maggie Kendall Zimmerman also published a paper in the Jan 27, 2009 issue of EOS showing that active climate researchers almost unanimously agree that humans have had a significant impact on the Earth's climate. Both an Antarctic stream and glacier were named for Doran by the U.S. Geological Survey to commemorate his many significant research contributions conducted on the continent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Doran
