What's more childish: disagreeing with science by suggesting that climate change isn't actually occurringOR making fun of all the defective minds that believe such drivel?

In either case, go for it.

You and the rest of the clowns lose for now.

When I wake up tomorrow I'll let you know if I got a suspension. Maybe bet amongst yourselves which post I got it for.

You can do that while continuing to jerk each other off for the rest of the night while whispering conspiracy theories in each others ears.

cya

This is your opinion only because you disagree. And if I had to choose, I would choose the latter.

“There is also uncertainty regarding to what degree man is to blame for global warming. However, the claim that 98 percent of scientists agree that humans are the singular driver of climate change has been repeatedly discounted. This oft-cited statistic is based on an online survey with a sample size of only 77 people, and the survey didn’t even ask to what degree humans contribute to climate change.”

Stewart is referring to a survey done for the American Geophysical Union in 2009 by researchers for the University of Illinois in Chicago. Peter Doran, associate professor of earth and environmental sciences, along with former graduate student Maggie Kendall Zimmerman, in 2008 sent a simple survey with nine questions to more than 10,000 experts listed in the 2007 edition of the American Geological Institute’s directory of geoscience departments.
They ended up getting responses from 3,146 scientists, and then publicized the results from two questions: (1) Have mean global temperatures risen compared to pre-1800s levels? (2) Has human activity been a significant factor in changing mean global temperatures?
The results? About 90 percent of the scientists agreed with the first question and 82 percent with the second.
So where does the 98 percent statistic come from? That’s from a subsample of the survey — climate scientists. The survey actually says the result is 97 percent, but Stewart is correct that it represented just a small group of people — 77 out of 79 people.
Generally, with this sample size, one can expect a margin of error of about plus or minus 11 percentage points, or a range of 86 to 100 percent. That’s still a pretty big margin.

Anthropological climate change is the single biggest exaggeration in the history of the human race, and every one pushing it was heavily invested in technologies that benefited from the lie.


I think you meant to say anthropogenic

Is there a full moon tonight or something?

If it is completely random it is sufficient.  Called the central limit theorem.  Or the CLT!

Need 31 or 32 or higher.  If certain conditions are met.  From the looks of it conditions weren't met but it was sufficient to derail thread to make it now about statistics.


Not really, there is still a possibility that he picked the only 77 people who agreed with what he wanted in the world.
Thats the funny thing with randomness.

The poll found 77 people who agree with climate change, i posted a link to a similar amount who disagree.

anthropologist, atmospheric science and botanist, were 3 mentioned, there was a lot of people at the event.
I listed around 100+ geologists, anthropologists and climate scientists who disagreed in an earlier thread.

Pretty long list for a group who claims "every one agrees" and many of them are world renowned.


did you see the graph in the link you posted? just in case you missed it:



the distribution looks similar to those scientists who support evolution in one way (left) and those who support some flavour of creationism (right)
you will always find (corporate) scientists to support whatever they are paid for
