follow the money, who would pay for a climate scientists report on the climate if it wasn't about death and destruction.

Fear mongering sells, look at the MSM

The Nonsensus: 97% to 98% of climate scientists believe in global warming?
Posted on September 8, 2011 by Steve Milloy| 33 Comments
During Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate, Jon Huntsman attacked Rick Perry with the claim that 97% to 98% of climate scientists believe in the manmade global warming hypothesis. This claim is also gaining currency in the lamestream media

The claim arises from this June 2010 PNAS study. Read it if you have the time and stomach, but the bottom line is that about 97% to 98% of climate researchers (if not more) are paid by the government and climate interest groups to support and to advance the global warming hypothesis and, guess what, they do.

This doesn’t make these researchers correct or credible, just employed.

The study’s premise that unless you’ve published 20 papers on climate your views don’t matter or are uninformed is patently arbitrary and absurd.

If you can read a graph, then you have all the tools necessary to decide the climate controversy for yourself. You only need the PhD and track record of publications if you want to rip-off taxpayers in the name of alarmism.

Are you really a "Sr. Project Manager (Oil and Gas), P.Eng.", or do you just play one on SimCity.

Oh yeah, climate scientists are all commies (at least the 98% of them that agree that AGW is real and happening)

Is it 98% of all climate scientists?
or 98% of all scientists?
or 98% of all people who call themselves scientists but who are really physical therapists and politicians?

and how many climate scientists are there?
