Apocalyptic Weather Fools Americans Into Thinking Climate Change Is Real

it seems that the never-ending string of Rick Perry’s failed rain dances, the recent creepy tropical winter experienced by most of the country that is confusing the hell out of farmers’ crops, and all those thousands of category-one-million tornadoes mowing down large swaths of Real America are all conspiring to make your fellow citizens a tad suspicious about the alleged fictional nature of climate change.

Aristotle’s climate | FP Comment | Financial Post

Two surveys have purported to show that 97% of climate scientists supported the “consensus.” However, one survey was based on the views of just 77 scientists, far too small a sample to be scientific, and the proposition to which 75 of the 77 assented was merely to the effect that there has been warming since 1950.

The other paper did not state explicitly what question the scientists were asked and did not explain how they had been selected to remove bias. Evidentially, it was valueless. Yet that has not prevented the usual suspects from saying — falsely — that the “consensus” of 97% of all climate scientists is that man-made global warming is potentially catastrophic.
