A study of 4000 abstracts of peer-reviewed papers published in the past 21 years that state a position on global has revealed an astonishing consensus; 97% of these endorsed the position that we are seeing anthropogenic global warming (AGW)[1].

 

 

 

 

Warning Science is not a democracy in the sense that if most scientists agree, then it must be correct.

 

Also note;

66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW.

32.6% endorsed AGW.

0.7% rejected AGW.

0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming.
