Trying to think of a time since the introduction of modern scientific reasoning when 97% of scientists in the relevant field of research all agree on something that ended up being completely the opposite of what was actually going on.

Coming up blank, so I will side with the scientists that spend their life researching the topic as their full time jobs rather than random ass people on internet message boards linking to conspiracy web sites. I think deniers are from the same subset of people that believe Noah's ark was an accurate historical description of something that really happened.

Really? Apparently the vast majority of actual climatologists working in the field didn't get the memo.

Out of curiosity, do you think they polled all scientists to arrive at that 97%?

Why do you think that is?

...and where I live, we have experienced ten years or more, without ever hitting the 100 degree F mark. It's called weather, manipulated by trade winds, ocean tides, etc...

LOL! I saw some Climatologist calling the Republican Party the "most dangerous organization since the Nazis". Hysterical Drama Queens.

Not to mention every time they make their climate computer models, history and time have always proven them to be wrong.

BTW, the entire Midwest was cool, lacked severe weather and had plenty of rainfall once again. The last hot summer we had was 1988

The liberal, wack-a-doodle consensus also said Hilary was going to win the presidency, guess they were wrong there to as well.

So much for consensus of opinion, eh?

That's false and you know it, try summers of 95, 99, 02, 06, 10, 12 and this summer was very hot in the midwest
