show us some science that co2 leads temps... on our earth. you can't so you just lie your ass off and call real scientists ridiculous names.
This is cooks paper... the guy whose website, skeptical science, is financed by gore. it took a lie to get to this metric... this is the best an agw nutter can do. 97% of 33% and he can not even reproduce that stat. http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/2/024024/article We analyze the evolution of the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming (AGW) in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, examining 11 944 climate abstracts from 1991â2011 matching the topics 'global climate change' or 'global warming'. We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW, 32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming. Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming. In a second phase of this study, we invited authors to rate their own papers. Compared to abstract ratings, a smaller percentage of self-rated papers expressed no position on AGW (35.5%). Among self-rated papers expressing a position on AGW, 97.2% endorsed the consensus. For both abstract ratings and authors' self-ratings, the percentage of endorsements among papers expressing a position on AGW marginally increased over time. Our analysis indicates that the number of papers rejecting the consensus on AGW is a vanishingly small proportion of the published research.
FC - your short bus is here. Please get on it an leave quickly before your meds wear off and you go 97% retard.
exactly its like fc is arguing that 100% of the people who believe Obama always tells the truth believe we can all keep our healthcare plans. and fc is still arguing we can all keep our healthcare plans. FC the science and most of the nutters have moved on. you are the only dipshit who still believes that 97% of scientists believe anything.
It's only November and the southern states are facing - Wintry blast hits West, 8 killed; storms head East The "Nordic outbreak" will "produce a mixed bag of wily weather that will end up impacting much of the nation," National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Harris said {sarcasm} This global warming is killing us. {/sarcasm}
Subsequent research has confirmed this result. A survey of 3146 earth scientists asked the question "Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?" (Doran 2009). More than 90% of participants had Ph.D.s, and 7% had masterâs degrees. Overall, 82% of the scientists answered yes. However, what are most interesting are responses compared to the level of expertise in climate science. Of scientists who were non-climatologists and didn't publish research, 77% answered yes. In contrast, 97.5% of climatologists who actively publish research on climate change responded yes. As the level of active research and specialization in climate science increases, so does agreement that humans are significantly changing global temperatures. Figure 1: Response to the survey question "Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?" (Doran 2009) General public data come from a 2008 Gallup poll. Most striking is the divide between expert climate scientists (97.4%) and the general public (58%). The paper concludes: "It seems that the debate on the authenticity of global warming and the role played by human activity is largely nonexistent among those who understand the nuances and scientific basis of long-term climate processes. The challenge, rather, appears to be how to effectively communicate this fact to policy makers and to a public that continues to mistakenly perceive debate among scientists."
The doran survey is a joke.... it was another 75 out 77 agw nutter survey. And it does not claim that man made co2 is causing the warming you are getting very low fc... very low. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/18/about-that-overwhelming-98-number-of-scientists-consensus/ So where did that famous âconsensusâ claim that â98% of all scientists believe in global warmingâ come from? It originated from an endlessly reported 2009 American Geophysical Union (AGU) survey consisting of an intentionally brief two-minute, two question online survey sent to 10,257 earth scientists by two researchers at the University of Illinois. Of the about 3.000 who responded, 82% answered âyesâ to the second question, which like the first, most people I know would also have agreed with. Then of those, only a small subset, just 77 who had been successful in getting more than half of their papers recently accepted by peer-reviewed climate science journals, were considered in their survey statistic. That â98% all scientistsâ referred to a laughably puny number of 75 of those 77 who answered âyesâ. That anything-but-scientific survey asked two questions. The first: âWhen compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?â Few would be expected to dispute thisâ¦the planet began thawing out of the âLittle Ice Ageâ in the middle 19th century, predating the Industrial Revolution. (That was the coldest period since the last real Ice Age ended roughly 10,000 years ago.) The second question asked: âDo you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?â So what constitutes âsignificantâ? Does âchangingâ include both cooling and warming⦠and for both âbetterâ and âworseâ? And which contributionsâ¦does this include land use changes, such as agriculture and deforestation?

Let me provide the correct answer - because over 75% of France's electricity is generated from nuclear power plants. "407 TWh out of the country's total production of 541 TWh of electricity was from nuclear power (75%), the highest percentage in the world." "In 2007 Areva NC claimed that, due to their reliance on nuclear power, France's carbon emissions per kWh are less than 1/10 that of Germany and the UK, and 1/13 that of Denmark, which has no nuclear plants." Its emissions of nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide have been reduced by 70% over 20 years, even though the total power output has tripled in that time.[79] French environmentalist Bruno Comby started the group Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy in 1996, and said in 2005, "If well-managed, nuclear energy is very clean, does not create polluting gases in the atmosphere, produces very little waste and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France Do you support converting 75% of the U.S. power plant grid to nuclear power to achieve similar per capita results? Do you want to discuss France's impending nuclear waste disaster?
