Tom Harris: “97% of Climate Experts agree” survey coordinators told about polling flaws DURING THE SURVEY
Article Tags: Tom Harris
Dear Friends,
With President Obama’s re-election, Al Gore’s “24 Hours of Climate Reality” coming up in a week, and the next UN Climate Change Conference starting two weeks later, we are going to be hearing a lot about the so-called consensus among climate experts that our greenhouse gases are causing a climate crisis. Consequently, it is important that climate realists have new, solid “talking points” to rebut this assertion.
Two pieces of evidence are most often cited to support the 97%/consensus argument:
1)A 2010 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States (PNAS) by Anderegg et al.
2)A poll conducted in April 2008 by Professor Peter Doran and then-graduate student Margaret R. K. Zimmerman at University of Illinois at Chicago . The survey results were summarized in a paper published in January 2009 in the science journal EOS.
