Another climate scientist has told the truth about the nonsensical claim of a 97% consensus of scientists believing in the man-made climate change hypothesis:
“It was the narrative from the beginning,” [Dr. Richard ]Lindzen, a climatologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), told RealClear Radio Hour host Bill Frezza Friday.
“In 1998, [NASA’s James] Hansen made some vague remarks.Newsweek ran a cover that says all scientists agree.
Now they never really tell you what they agree on.”
“It is propaganda,” Lindzen said.
“So all scientists agree it’s probably warmer now than it was at the end of the Little Ice Age.
Almost all Scientists agree that if you add CO2, you will have some warming.
Maybe very little warming.”
“But it is propaganda to translate that into it is dangerous and we must reduce CO2,” he added.
The study that announced the 97% consensus, “Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature,” by John Cook and friends, is simply bogus.
...But, the University of Queensland is hiding the fact that Cook’s study was a qualitative study which relied on opinion and produced biased results.
...The way the 97% study was conducted was Cook and his buddies looked at peer-reviewed studies and classified them as either agreeing or disagreeing with the climate change hypothesis.
Cook doesn’t mention that the 97% figure was really 97% of the hand-picked studies they reviewed. Even worse, investigative journalists at Popular Technology reported that the 97% Study falsely classifies scientists’ papers as supporting the global warming hypothesis – according to the scientists who published the papers.
