“Just over half – 54 per cent – of the 80 international specialists in climate science who took part in our survey agreed that the situation is now so dire…”
Wow, I am now completely convinced of significant effects of anthropogenic global warming.
According to this report, 80 climate ‘experts’ were willing to take part in this survey. One of these experts was a Nobel laureate, (Al Gore?). Out of this huge group of alarmists, only 43 think we have a problem that needs to be addressed.
You see, this is the problem I have always had with the assertions of the IPCC. They have a minority group of climatologists who are paid very well to provide reports and models defining man-made Armageddon. I have no idea if 54% constitutes a consensus of ‘international specialists’, but in the true style of the IPCC it is presented as such. There is no mention of the 600+ climate specialists in the NIPCC that completely disagree with the fact that man’s contribution to the CO2 warming is significant. If the survey did include them, the number could fall to16%. Not to worry though, even this could translate into a ‘consensus’ in the IPCC “Summary for Policymakers”.
