[@mdk][@The Harbinger of Ferocity] I swear I have no idea how you two deal with this stuff... [quote=@Dynamo Frokane] You thought that Poohead was left wing. [/quote] My man...something about the things you say. Just draws me in... [quote=@POOHEAD189] [b]Literally 97% of scientists in the field confirm that climate change is real and caused by humans. I don't know how anyone who is sane can deny it. [/b] [b]Feminism just means equal rights for everyone![/b] (paraphrased because cant be bothered) [/quote] Pray tell, what person on the right has these opinions? These aren't centrist, they're complete delusions that aren't even worth talking about, yet hear I am. :I Two quick debunks. While I'm here. 1. Egalitarianism is word for a reason... 2. Aside from the fact that “consensus” is not how science is settled — there was at one point consensus that the earth was flat — the “97 percent” figure came from a small study in 2009 that asked only two questions of a group of scientists, only a handful of whom even responded. Of those, only a small percentage were actually climate scientists. In the end, the 97 percent figure came from around 70 climate scientists agreeing that the earth had warmed marginally over the past two centuries and that human activity may have played a role in that warming. That’s it. [s]So stop goddamn using it already![/s] [hider=More context] In 2013, John Cook, an Australia-based blogger, and some of his friends reviewed abstracts of peer-reviewed papers published from 1991 to 2011. Mr. Cook reported that 97% of those who stated a position explicitly or implicitly suggest that human activity is responsible for some warming. His findings were published in Environmental Research Letters. Mr. Cook’s work was quickly debunked. In Science and Education in August 2013, for example, David R. Legates (a professor of geography at the University of Delaware and former director of its Center for Climatic Research) and three coauthors reviewed the same papers as did Mr. Cook and found “only 41 papers—0.3 percent of all 11,944 abstracts or 1.0 percent of the 4,014 expressing an opinion, and not 97.1 percent—had been found to endorse” the claim that human activity is causing most of the current warming. Elsewhere, climate scientists including Craig Idso, Nicola Scafetta, Nir J. Shaviv and Nils- Axel Morner, whose research questions the alleged consensus, protested that Mr. Cook ignored or misrepresented their work.
