Hmm, I always keep hearing 99.9% of scientists agree.

 

Here's the Climate Dissent You're Not Hearing About Because It's Muffled by Society's Top Institutions

 

This summer the International Monetary Fund summarily canceled a presentation by John Clauser, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist who publicly disavows the existence of a climate “crisis.” The head of the nonprofit with which Clauser is affiliated, the CO2 Coalition, has said he and other members have been delisted from LinkedIn for their dissident views.  

 

Meanwhile, a top academic journal retracted published research doubting a climate emergency after negative coverage in legacy media. The move was decried by another prominent climate dissenter, Roger Pielke Jr., as “one of the most egregious failures of scientific publishing that I have seen” – criticism muffled because the academic says he has been blocked on Twitter (now X) by reporters on the climate beat.

If I scallop correctly, it was 97%, with 3% holding the opposing viewpoint.or that’s what the media would have you believe.

 

The truth of the matter was that they based the “97% of scientists agree” on the inverse of the 3% who didn’t, when in reality the number who agreed was, I think only 32%. The remaining 65% had no opinion one way or the other, based on a lack of evidence.

 

There are lies, damned lies and statistics 🤡

The figure I saw came from The Guardian.  Of course we know how they tend to hype things they feel politically strongly about.

For the Guardian it is a religion

 

I have seen anything heretical in the comments deleted

'How is that legal?' --> Climate protestors block Citibank in NYC to save the planet or something (watch)

 

The climate needs us and the law be gosh darned to the desert!  We don't have time to follow any silly laws!  Humanity's future is at stake!  Blocking businesses is the ONLY way to *checks notes* stop the rotation of the Earth's crust or something.  [...]

AOC to headline rally at New York climate march ahead of UN summit

March on Sunday will cap a week of more than 650 global actions and is expected to be the largest US climate march in five years

 

Hopefully many on here are attending, I suppose she needs to make some sort of comeback after the disastrous Migrant incident the other day.

 

This caught my attention:

 

And in Democratic Republic of the Congo, dozens joined a protest march through the city of Goma, shouting slogans and waving banners and placards calling for an end to corporate control of fossil fuels. The Congolese government caused an uproar among environmentalists last year by putting 30 oil and gas blocks up for auction, including 13 blocks crisscrossing through protected areas and national parks.

 

Can dozens of people cause an uproar?

The pooch found some snow in the bushes up on the pass but most was above 12k.

I would think we are a week away, normally get a dump in September but not so far.
