So then...97% of all scientists do not believe that it's caused by climate change. But 97% of papers written about climate change say it IS caused by man.
I guess that people of the belief that it's man-made kinda played fast and loose when saying that on television.
I mostly hear it on "Real Time with Bill Maher", as he repeatedly uses that in arguments and flat out says that "97% of scientists say it's caused by man".
Here's what that link boils down to:
"Based on our abstract ratings, we found that just over 4,000 papers took a position on the cause of global warming, 97.1% of which endorsed human-caused global warming. In the scientist self-ratings, nearly 1,400 papers were rated as taking a position, 97.2% of which endorsed human-caused global warming. Many papers captured in our literature search simply investigated an issue related to climate change without taking a position on its cause."
