Sorry, but only some scientists have been saying similar things. Consensus is not science nor does it have a place in science. The CAGW meme has become political and destructive of actual science.
You assume that government employees are inherently liberal without backing it up. If this were the case, why are there more government employees in conservative states? http://www.governing.com/news/headl...t-workers-are-more-conservative-analysis.html Here are some scientists who are not named Cook: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2010/06/04/1003187107.abstract http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2009EO030002/abstract http://www.sciencemag.org/content/306/5702/1686.full#
Never said it was. And calling a blogger a cartoonist does not refute the arguments they post either.
Deniers in general feel a need to demonize and attack specific people, since they stink so mightily at discussing the actual science. In denierland, they think that if their jihad succeeds in personally destroying Cook or Mann or Gore or anyone, it will magically invalidate all of AGW theory, even if the results that they're trying to discredit have been replicated a thousand times by different people.
No there have been numerous studies on the consensus as well as a HUGE number of "consensus statements" made by various scientific societies - none of which have anything to do with John Cook - who, seems in the minds of some to have replaced Al Gore as the leader of the scientific conspiracy to create global warming
Love the way they never mention that he has degrees in Physics and is the Climate Science Communications fellow for the University o Queensland either As if being a cartoonist is somehow less than human
Actually he did not - but once again we have a statement without factual proof http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus
“..I’m not sure what you are trying to prove, but you will undoubtably be able to prove your pre-existing opinion with this survey! I’m sorry I even started it!..” ~Doran
You present that as if it was Doran saying it and not anonymous feedback on the Doran/Zimmerman survey itself. http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/07/18/what-else-did-the-97-of-scientists-say/
I assume it because the bureaucrats who work in Washington D.C. vote democrat hence the huge democratic voting block in suburban D.C.
"Climate Science Communications Fellow" means taxpayer funded propagandist. Mr. Cook has made quite a life for himself pushing AGW. From being a loser living in a basement he now has a nice job as a researcher at UQ and the title of "Climate Science Communications Fellow". I dont see such a person ever taking a risk to give that up. If AGW loses political momentum he is back in the basement. And no we dont have to spend all our efforts discrediting Cook. He does that himself. After all we didn't Photoshop he and his friends as Nazis. They did that themselves. Here is Mr. Cook photoshopped as Himmler taken from his own forum.
