So I take it you don't believe the US historians who say the US does not have 57 states?

Koan has had the fake 97% debunked before but .... he either can't remember it due to a lifetime of pot use ... or prefers the lie.

Hi koan; Re: "So I take it you don't believe the 97% of atmospheric scientist's who say we are experiencing dangerous* anthropogenic global warming?"; I've bolded "dangerous" because that's something you're assuming that's wrong. Go back and read the original study and you'll find that the people who claim the 97% consensus (and I disagree with their methods by the way), did not ask whether scientists agreed that global warming was "dangerous". Instead, this is what was claimed to be agreed: The research, the most comprehensive analysis of climate research to date, finds that 97.1% of the studies published between 1991 to 2011 that expressed a position on manmade climate change agreed that it was happening, and that it was due to human activity. ... The study published Thursday is the first to take so many papers and authors into account. Doing a search on the popular science article website Web of Science for "climate change" or "global warming" produces over 12,000 results. Of these, 4,014 papers were identified to state a position on climate change. Among those, 3,896, or 97.1% endorsed the consensus that climate change was happening and that it was caused by human activity. weather.com The "dangerous" is in your* mind, not in the minds of 97% of "atmospheric scientists". Here, read the actual 97.1% paper. You won't find the word "danger" or "dangerous". The only mention of "catastrophic" is in reference to a paper that claims that global warming is not catastrophic: the global temperature record provides little support for the catastrophic view* of the greenhouse effect* iopscience.iop.org iopscience.iop.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've gone over this multiple times. Why is it you fail to understand my position? I'll repeat it again for you. I'll do it in bold, maybe that will help: (1) Global warming is real. (2) Humans cause (at least part of) global warming. (3) Global warming is not dangerous. -- Carl
