1. That number is probably wrong
2. You don't know how many in that field the dissenters represent
3. There is likely a range of opinions
4. Unlike AGW, there was no foundation for consensus based on evidence because you were dealing with theory
Sorry that you're just as dumb as petros but allow me to explain why..
You don't look at the entire body of climate science, just the research relating to questions about why it's happening.
Fun Facts:
1)Carbon dioxide progressively loses the ability to absorb heat as its concentration increases.
2)Man-made warming theory relies on water vapor, not carbon dioxide, to drive future warming.
3)Cloud formation contradicts this water vapor feedback.
4)Climate scientists have never solved this cloud problem.
5)Solar activity in the 20th Century increased to its highest levels in at least 2,000 years.
6)Every previous warm period over the past few thousands of years coincided with strong solar output.
So sorry to bounce it back to you, but the dumb one truly is you. See #1? It's been proven time and time again. THAT'S science.
Now, as for this dreck
1. That number is probably wrong
Nope, it's 97% of 33%. I've done the math. You'll have to trust me on that since I know the logic of math seems to elude you.
2. You don't know how many in that field the dissenters represent
It doesn't matter how many. It's still 97% of 33%. A number of the scientists who refused to even take part explained why they refused, which you'll see after #3
3. There is likely a range of opinions
There were three apparently. 97% of the 33% said they agreed that humans were the primary driver of global warming. 3% of the 33% said they didn't think it was. And the 67% who didn't respond at all said they didn't because the questions were designed to lead to a preconceived conclusion, and that's not how to do science.
4. Unlike AGW, there was no foundation for consensus based on evidence because you were dealing with theory
Oh..my..god. AGW IS the theory the fake consensus was based on. Holy geez are you ever dumb. It's making my head hurt.
