Climate Science Fact or Fiction . . . Thursday?

I'm feeling a little under the weather so not sure I'm going to be able to do the usual Fact or Fiction Friday post. So lucky you, I've decided to move it up a day. Don't get too excited, it'll go back to it's regularly scheduled Friday once I kick this cold.

As ever, please review my disclaimer before proceeding.

This is a great time of year for competition given the proximity of March Madness. Let's get stuck in.

Fact or Fiction: There is no scientific consensus on global warming.

Drum roll please . . . . Fiction! Truth is, 97% of climate scientists actively publishing climate papers endorse the consensus position.

Good game, good game.

  1. Question: isn't it more difficult for climate skeptics to publish their work in peer reviewed papers? 97% isn't that surprising when you factor in the shunning, fearmongering, etc.
