So where did that famous “consensus” claim that “98% of all
scientists believe in global warming” come from? It originated from an
endlessly reported 2009 American Geophysical Union (AGU) survey
consisting of an intentionally brief two-minute, two question online
survey sent to 10,257 earth scientists by two researchers at the
University of Illinois. Of the about 3.000 who responded, 82% answered
“yes” to the second question, which like the first, most people I know
would also have agreed with.
Then of those, only a small subset, just 77 who had been successful
in getting more than half of their papers recently accepted by
peer-reviewed climate science journals, were considered in their survey
statistic. That “98% all scientists” referred to a laughably puny number
of 75 of those 77 who answered “yes”.
Shall I continue?
