99.9% of scientists now agree humans are causing climate change. (1 Viewer)

[Aristaeus]

Latest studies of scientific papers show that 99.9% of scientists believe that humans are causing climate change, the same level of belief amongst scientists as evolution and tectonic plate movement. The figure is an increase from 97% the last time the study was carried out in 2013.

This is case closed and I hope the mods move future climate change denier threads to the conspiracy forum from now on.

There is little doubt that the average temperature has increased over the last century.
Plants grow where they did not used to, and away from micro-climates, that only happens if the climate changes.

That isn't what you think. The study gives a range of 98.8% to 99.87% as agreeing with the cnsensus. But the consensus is nothing more than believing we have an unspecified effect.

Quote Game dismissed in favor of science.

Suit yourself.

I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had.

Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.

There is no such thing as consensus science. If it's consensus, it isn't science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period. --Michael Crichton

But who exactly is behind that economic research? Legal expert, physicist, and now science historian Benjamin Franta, of Stanford University, decided to take a deeper look. He recently published his findings in the journal Environmental Politics: Since the late 1980s, economists at private consulting firms, funded by the fossil fuel industry, have played a key role in shaping public discourse about climate policy in the U.S., hawking flawed research and spreading disinformation everywhere from newspapers to congressional testimonies. In an interview with Grist, Franta discusses economists’ role in the fossil fuel industry’s PR campaign, and why these relationships flew under the radar for such a long time.

“For decades, [these] economists have been inflating the cost of action,” Franta said, “and downplaying the cost of inaction.” "
