I think you are getting mixed up with another study.

There was one by Anderagg et al and another by Doran & Zimmerman (75 out of 77 = 97%).

Because of the questions they ask, both are complete nonsense, and do not separate sceptics from believers.

[tstruss912]

You read the study wrong. It was 908 climatologists in total and 97% of those who PUBLISH THE MOST were convinced that humans were responsible for warming trends. Reread the study since you left that point out.

See my vid ""the 97% consensus is pure fiction"



[tstruss912]

No, it can be put to a vote 37 times just like "Obamacare" if you want. It means nothing. We put experts in charge for a reason. Do you vote on what to do with car safety and water purity? Nope, because you don't know anything about those topics. The bottom line is that 97% of experts agree and action will be taken. Period. You can throw tantrums because you're anxious regarding the change all you want. I feel sorry for you that you feel so scared but that won't stop policy forever.

So you are scared of a vote on carbon taxes and the like; wonder why?

Could it be because most folk have now realised that they have been HAD?

Mate, you are the one who has been brainwashed; there is no evidence at all that our CO2 is now, or will cause a problem with the climate.

See all my vids debunking CAGW.

[tstruss912]

Gov has experts who SHOULD handle such things based on evidence. That's why your water is clean. Voting is not relevant. But, you should know that you're in the minority, and that the minority is only as big as it is due to MASSIVE propaganda.

"and most of the world population.. ".

Are you ready to have a vote on this?

 -Like right now?

[tstruss912]

You're entitled to your opinion, which is one that most climatologists, Frank Luntz, Bush, Gore, and most of the world population disagree with.

After initializing and parametrizing hundreds of multidimensional datasets,inserting decentred proxy data and ignoring any difficult natural forcing factors,we ran hundreds of simulations until we obtained the results we wanted–an ensemble of meaningless projections,which we then averaged.We utilized a liberally unprincipled component analysis to homogenize and sensitize this to produce a hockey stick,which gave an unequivocal prediction,(95%+probability) that we are totally screwing all of you
