There is no such thing as "climate science"

You clearly didn't because it is explained in the report. If you don't think climate science is a thing, you are attacking the very premise of the study that you are quoting. So which is it, do you accept this study or not?
When people think about the claim that x% of scientists know that global warming is happening, do you not think that they are referring to scientist who actually do proper research on the topic?
Take one look at that chart that you are biasing your views on. The largest group of people who responded are do not publish, so they are not conducting any sort of peer reviewed or vetted research.
I don't know any but I bet that is coming. Instead of students though they will be called seminarians.
Can you not appreciate the idiocy citing a study that classifies certain scientists as being in the field of "climate science", and simultaneously claiming that climate science is somehow not a field of science?

Uh huh. Another misnomer for the brainwashed relabled from statistician.
Q.What is climate science, and how does it differ from meteorology and climatology?
A. * Climate science is distinguished from the more general discipline of atmospheric science or meteorology by its emphasis on climate as opposed to weather. Climate science is the study of average conditions over some time period, whereas meteorology is the study of actual events. It has been said that "climate is what we expect, and weather is what we get". Climate science is distinguished from climatology by practitioners in the field by the fact that climate science relies heavily on numerical models for the study of climate processes, whereas climatologists primarily use statistical methods to study climate. Climate scientists also use statistical methods to study the output of their numerical models and to compare these results with observations. The distinction is in the wide use of numerical models by climate scientists. These numerical models (in contrast to, say, statistical models or conceptual models) are based on the fundamental laws of physics and have essentially the same basic equations as models used by fluid engineers to study fluid motions in combustion chambers, flow around airplane bodies, and flow in pipes and ducts
Okay now what is a statistician?
Statistician
Profession
A statistician is someone who works with theoretical or applied statistics. The profession exists in both the private and public sectors. It is common to combine statistical knowledge with expertise in other subjects.

Are you just going to keep posting increasingly nonsensical things until we ignore you?
Totally stealing that.
As for Steyn--he's very whiny.
And none of it will stop the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere from increasing.
Please ignore me as you do reality I'd appreciate not having to educate you jaded f-cks.
That great about CO2 when is it going to kick in an overcome natural long term climate swings?
Earth sciences.
Haha, can you show me which school gives a degree in "real ones".
Can I assume that based on the level of pride that you have in your educational credentials, they may not be all that exciting?
I would assume that even if you had a bachelors degree you would know how to read a study.
