The question of 97% consensus among climate scientists came up once more, so again I decided to address the assertion. After all, among the non-scientific world of politics, it is repeated more often than the word ‘like’ in teenage conversation..
John Cook is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Monash Climate Change Communication Research Hub in Melbourne, Australia. Prior thereto, and over the course of some years, John Cook then a Climate Communications Fellow, Global Change Institute, Queensland University in Australia, surveyed a thousand or so climate papers and came to the conclusion that there was a 97% consensus of anthropogenic climate change among the authoring climate scientists.
The reality of Cook’s examination is that only 2% of the papers said exactly that, although never divulging the amount of warming, while the vast majority of the papers researched never stated that there was manmade global warming at all, but Cook “felt” or perhaps “fantasized” it was implied.
After Cook’s crooked study in 2004, it was then cited as certain climate gospel and has been used and abused since. It is likely the very first snappy comeback or retort from the unlearned laymen when one tells them that climate change is a political deception.
Many sciences seem to be quite askew in these modern times. In Norway Christina Ellingsen of the feminist organization “Women’s Declaration International” is facing three years in prison for tweeting the once coherent claim that men cannot be lesbians as well as men cannot become mothers. That was illogically and absurdly dubbed ‘’hate speech’’.
It appears that biology is becoming as fanatical as physics while ‘feeling’ and ‘uncompromising emotion’ is now the new progressive reality.
