Can everyone please stop claiming that 97% of scientists believe global warming is mostly man-made and dangerous:pic.twitter.com/seH1cRTtBB

@JuliaHB1 that's a total misrepresentation!
@david_colquhoun nope, it's exactly what happens.
There is nothing quite so frustrating as arguing with amateur climate experts. I'm out. Better things to do @JuliaHB1
.@david_colquhoun how arrogant. Not pretending to be an amateur climate scientist. The ability to count and read a graph is enough, thanks.
@JuliaHB1 well I'm a very amateur climate scientist! I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated that that
@david_colquhoun no, I'm really not sure that it is, but what do I know - my livelihood doesn't depend on toeing the climate change line.
@JuliaHB1 my job has nothing to do with climate change http://bit.ly/1dVRXOV That's one reason I'm much less sure of answer than you are
@david_colquhoun I never said I was sure. My issue is that so many people are so sure about an unproven theory which does not fit the facts
@JuliaHB1 what you are claiming is absolutely not what that paragraph says. They are misrepresenting their results and the argument.
@JuliaHB1 the idea is 97% of climate scientists agree. This study looks at the number of articles published. Not the same thing.
@Louis_Akindele the original 97% claim was based on the reports published, not on explicit survey of scientists. Jesus, read up on this!
@JuliaHB1 the debunking article claims 1% compared to 97.1%. Huge discrepancy in results in terms of the same articles.
@JuliaHB1 is there a source of a good meta-analysis?
@nickysmithers try the Internet!
@JuliaHB1 I am, it's not working for some reason ;-)
@nickysmithers @JuliaHB1 try Copernicus to start with, then Lindzen, Curry, Soon, then read "Hide the decline".
@JuliaHB1 I think they mean 97% of politicians believe in it.
@JuliaHB1 The IPCC is a huge culprit! Totally political. The Met Office can't even predict the weather next week!
