Correction / counting
Correction: In one of my posts on the Cook fraud, I listed 19 social science, survey, marketing, and opinion papers that were coded as “climate papers” endorsing of anthropogenic warming. I made a mistake listing this one: Vandenplas, P. E. 1998. “Reflections on the Past and Future of Fusion and Plasma Physics Research.” Plasma Physics…

The climate science consensus is 78 – 84 percent (Updated)
I think I’ve been negligent in not making the actual climate science consensus known to people.

Let’s walk through that sentence again. The Cook et al 97% paper included a bunch of psychology studies, marketing papers, and surveys of the general public as scientific…

Ignore climate consensus studies based on random people rating journal article abstracts.
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 11, 2014: (This post was my initial take. For a better and more up-to-date report, go here. For follow-up, go here.) The paper includes a bunch of psychology studies and public surveys as evidence of scientific endorsement of anthropogenic climate change, even a survey of cooking stove use. This vacates the paper. Lots…
