Has the temperature been rising? This is a lecture from 2014. You can start at 6:20 if you want to skip the intro. At 16:20: “96% of all scientist BELIEVE in climate change.” It was a review of abstracts of 11,000 science articles, emphasis on ABSTRACTS. 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on anthropocentric global warming, 32.6% endorsed global warming, 0.7% rejected it, and 0.3% were uncertain. So it is not 97% of all scientist, it is 97% of a third of scientist. (but were aren’t really even counting scientists, we are counting abstracts). Another way to summarize this would be to say that 66% of all scientist in the field have expressed no opinion on the matter.
