Sadly, there has always been a large pool of those too weak and cowardly, or simply too dumb......to question the lies of environmentalism. They feel so secure siding with the 'vast consensus.'
That makes it sooo much easier for the Bolsheviks....er, Democrats who own and operate the schools.
Now....let's destroy the 'consensus' argument.
3. Well….don’t all the scientists agree about Global Warming?
“…
where did that famous “consensus” claim that “98% of all scientists believe in global warming” 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 “yes” to the second question, which like the first, most people I know would also have agreed with.
The first: “When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?”
The second question asked: “Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?”
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 “98% all scientists” referred to a laughably puny number of 75 of those 77 who answered “yes”. That Scientific Global Warming Consensus...Not!
77 out of 10,257 becomes 98%.
Yup…figures don’t lie, but liars can figure.
Oh….BTW….
“Since 1998,
more than 31,000 American scientists from diverse climate-related disciplines, including more than 9,000 with Ph.D.s, have signed a public petition announcing their belief that “…there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.” Included are atmospheric physicists, botanists, geologists, oceanographers, and meteorologists.” Ibid.
