Climate Change: No, It’s Not a 9. Percent Consensus. Unable to address Texas senator Ted Cruz’s questions about “the Pause” — the apparent global- warming standstill, now almost 1. Tuesday’s meeting of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, Sierra Club president Aaron Mair, after an uncomfortable pause of his own, appealed to authority: “Ninety- seven percent of scientists concur and agree that there is global warming and anthropogenic impact,” he stated multiple times.

Nice review. To me, cheap and inexpensive are two different things. Cheap is somewhere along the “quality” axis and inexpensive is somewhere on the “price” axis.

The relevant exchange begins at 1: 3. The myth of an almost- unanimous climate- change consensus is pervasive.

Last May, the White House tweeted: “Ninety- seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man- made and dangerous.” A few days later, Secretary of State John Kerry announced, “Ninety- seven percent of the world’s scientists tell us this is urgent.”“Ninety- seven percent of the world’s scientists” say no such thing. There are multiple relevant questions: (1) Has the earth generally warmed since 1. And, if (1) and (2), is anthropogenic global warming a problem so significant that we ought to take action?

In 2. 00. 4, University of California- San Diego professor Naomi Oreskes reported that, of 9. Remarkably, none of the papers disagreed with the consensus position.” Also remarkably, the papers chosen excluded several written by prominent scientists skeptical of that consensus. Furthermore, the claims made in abstracts — short summaries of academic papers — often differ from those made in the papers themselves. And Oreskes’s analysis did not take up whether scientists who subscribe to anthropogenic global warming think the phenomenon merits changes in public policy.

RELATED: On Climate, Science and Politics Are Diverging. The “9. 7 percent” statistic first appeared prominently in a 2. University of Illinois master’s student Kendall Zimmerman and her adviser, Peter Doran.

Based on a two- question online survey, Zimmerman and Doran concluded that “the debate on the authenticity of global warming and the role played by human activity is largely nonexistent among those who understand the nuances and scientific bases of long- term climate processes” — even though only 5 percent of respondents, or about 1. In fact, the “9. 7 percent” statistic was drawn from an even smaller subset: the 7. These 7. 7 scientists agreed that global temperatures had generally risen since 1. A year later, William R.

Love Anderegg, a student at Stanford University, used Google Scholar to determine that “9. ACC . In an analysis of 1. Among papers taking a position” is a significant qualifier: Only 3. Cook examined expressed any opinion about anthropogenic climate change at all.

Since 3. 3 percent appeared to endorse anthropogenic climate change, he divided 3. When David Legates, a University of Delaware professor who formerly headed the university’s Center for Climatic Research, recreated Cook’s study, he found that “only 4. Cook claimed. Several scientists whose papers were included in Cook’s initial sample also protested that they had been misinterpreted. A 2. 00. 8 survey by two German scientists, Dennis Bray and Hans von Storch, found that a significant number of scientists were skeptical of the ability of existing global climate models to accurately predict global temperatures, precipitation, sea- level changes, or extreme weather events even over a decade; they were far more skeptical as the time horizon increased. Most did express concerns about global warming and a desire for “immediate action to mitigate climate change” — but not 9. A 2. 01. 2 poll of American Meteorological Society members also reported a diversity of opinion.

Of the 1,8. 62 members who responded (a quarter of the organization), 5. Seventy- six percent said that warming over the next century would be “very” or “somewhat” harmful, but of those, only 2.

And according to a study of 1,8. PBL Netherlands Environment Assessment Agency, three in ten respondents said that less than half of global warming since 1. Given the politics of modern academia and the scientific community, it’s not unlikely that most scientists involved in climate- related studies believe in anthropogenic global warming, and likely believe, too, that it presents a problem. However, there is no consensus approaching 9. A vigorous, vocal minority exists.
