Philip S,

"For every scientist that says that says Global Warming happening you can find another that says it is false."

WRONG!

For every 97 scientists who support AGW, you can find "3" who say it is false.

Certainly a telling ratio - don't you agree? : )

Yes, very telling.

The study that conjured this 97% figure has been so comprehensively debunked that it tells me that anyone using it either doesn't have the slightest respect for the truth or is incapable/disinclined to look at the methodology of how such misinformation is constructed.

For such people it is much easier and far more comforting to read and believe the headline than to trouble themselves with a checking the validity of the headline.

No one knows what percentage of scientists accept the AGW story (and the numbers don't really matter anyway). But I'm supremely confident that Philip S is much closer to the mark than Poirot.

mhaze,

Come on now. We all know that peer-reviewed papers by "skeptics' published in science journals are almost as scarce as hen's teeth.

Most of their review is pal-review on blogsites run by non-climate scientists - aka amateurs.

Here you go...nice little pie chart 'ere on peer-reviewed climate articles - 1991-2012.

even the gullible who do fear have now found out that the current Government is so incompetent with finances, immigration, environment and almost every other portfolio that they don't care about the scare. Of course Q & A and OLO can still find a few 'true ' believers mainly because they are to stubborn to admit their errors. They are happy to see pensioners slugged with more for power just so their pet theories aren't exposed. Thankfully Abbott is about to change all that.

Poirot - Obviously you have been sucked in by the Global warming scam to the point nothing anyone says or does will persuade you otherwise.

Doing a internet search will provide data for and against it NO ONE has conclusively proven it enough to move my thinking either way.

BUT what tends to have me disbelieve it is.
1) The UN is totally for it - I don't trust them they always have ulterior motives for anything they say and do.

2) So many new taxes will be appearing.

3) Al Gore and company will make BILLIONS out of it.

4) The original scientists themselves were sending emails saying the data was incorrect.

Yes, you can take it from runner, that Tony - global warming is "absolute crap" - Abbott is right on the money (as far as denialism is concerned)

It's great, don't you think that we have a climate ignoramus standing for the highest office in the land - and people like runner (who denies evolution) to cheer them on.

Woe is us.......
