UN IPCC Lead Author & University of Sussex economist Dr. Richard Tol;
‘The 97% estimate is bandied about by basically everybody. I had a close look at what this study really did. as far as I can see, The estimate just crumbles when you touch it. None of the statements in the papers are supported by the data that’s in the paper. The 97% is essentially pulled from thin air, it is not based on any credible research whatsoever.’
And more.
Polar bear populations are increasing. Land rise/subsidence sea level (global) 12 miles less diameter polewared vs equatorial. Extreme storms not happening in intensity, duration, frequency… as predicted. Climate refugees? Ya where?
Not that I’m ANY fan of Agenda 21 but… one of the basic responses to global warming is “Transformation” defined by IPCC as “Transformation: The altering of fundamental attributes of a system (including value systems; regulatory, legislative, or bureaucratic
regimes; financial institutions; and technological or biological systems).” http://ipcc-wg2.gov/SREX/images/uploads/SREX-SPMbrochure_FINAL.pdf Pages 3-4.
As Canadians will you give up your “value systems and legislative regimes”? Regulatory and bureaucratic are already on the bubble.
Who want’s to take the next ‘great leap forward’?
Written as an immigrant.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good Chicken Little panic. you know better than that.
97 % of sceptics and realists have been waiting for some evidence for close to 2 decades that the science is settled and the planet gives a damn what a .039 % trace gas essential for life is doing. Still waiting. No evidence . Trillions spent/lost with no return on investment for the hapless taxpayers. Entire economies destroyed while politicians continue with any excuse to tax absolutely nothing while at the same time doing their best to eliminate cheap abundant electricity in favor of what can be best described as expensive, unreliable junk power. If the whole thing wasn’t so unaffordable it would be a lot more entertaining. Still a fine tribute to mass hysteria and the con artists that adapt to the times.
Meanwhile, the countries not brainwashed are eating our lunch.

“None of the statements in the papers are supported by the data that’s in the paper”
They just copy each others nonsense, or add a paragraph, to an otherwise unrelated study, suggesting the observations MAY be due to CAGW. Nobody can explain the complete Theory.
When one digs into the 97% claims, it becomes apparent that the 97% consensus is that “humans might be contributing to global warming”.
That sounds like a definite maybe that anyone would agree with if it increased their chances of getting more grant money.
Was it not Lenin that said (paraphrased), “If you tell a lie often it will become truth”.
Well said.
What I find disturbing is that green energy policies in Europe have set up this entire mess in the Ukraine. Russia has them all under its thumb because Europe ignored common sense in order to appease the green lobby and fix a non existing problem. Like Obama, Europe was leading from behind to please the brainwashed masses and being whipped on by the UN to further its own agenda. Cheap energy was/is there for the taking and now that it’s too late they are finally looking at the prospect of logical energy. Common sense was never meant to be used as the last resort, but that seems to be the way of the left.
97%. 10,000 odd ‘scientists’ were surveyed. 3,000 odd responded to the survey. Of those 79 were identified as climate scientists. Question one… has the earth warmed since 1850 (the start of the industrial revolution and the end of the ‘mini ice age’.
Of the 75 who believed affirmative…
Question two… has mankind been in some way responsible for some of the increase? 75 of 77 respondants said “yes”.
Ergo 75/10,000 X 100= 97%. Simple math stupid!!! 😉
You people are missing the point. You have already been sold. UN Agenda 21 is being implemented as a land use policy and it is well under way. This climate stuff is just noise now. We’re are so F%$#@!
Tol and Pielke are honest brokers. As a dihard denier I would listen to their views. More-so Pielke Jr.
At least differing views are being heard. Much better than ANY time in the recent past.
Meanwhile Wynney-the-poop here in Ontario, channels the Goreacle. http://www.torontosun.com/2013/11/21/al-gore-blesses-wynnes-energy-mess
JUST look at the picture. Are you not front row to the National People’s Congress spring-fling???????????????????/
“the countries not brainwashed are eating our lunch.”
Yes, Canadian farmers export food for the world’s lunch. Breakfast and dinner too. It helps our balance of trade quite a bit. Those who don’t want to buy our food can starve. There is no free lunch.
When it comes to handing out free lunches, we have always punched above our weight.
