The Big Lie

"How often do we hear," Baudet says, "that 97% of scientists agree that humans are the cause of climate change; that this climate change is severe, posing a major threat to the planet; and that we need a drastic reduction in our carbon dioxide emissions."

"All of this, and I do mean all of it, is false. It's a blatant lie that 97% of scientists agree with it. In reality, only 1.6% agree with [those] statements," he goes on, after which he explains that there are major disagreements on this among climatologists, geologists, chemists, physicians, and so on.

"This myth" about the 97% was famously propagated by former US President Barack Obama. "On May 16, 2013, he posted, and I quote," Baudet explains, "'97 percent of scientists agree, climate change is real, manmade and dangerous.' With this tweet, Obama referred to a paper published the same year by a man named John Cook"...

..."But it gets worse," Baudet continues. "In John Cook's study, the separate percentages of the different categories are structurally omitted." Originally, only 1.7% of the papers in the pro-group said that mankind caused 50% or more of global warming, 21% of mankind play some role, and 75% argued that an increase of CO2 in general has a warming effect. Cook erased those numbers, however, making it look as if most if not all of the papers in that pro group were originally category one papers (50% or more caused by mankind).

That's right. In fact, only 1.6% of papers stated that mankind plays a significant role in global warming.

Cook made that 1.6% look like 97%, however, and he did so by using some handy statistical tricks. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
