In order to be considered a real scientist, you actually have to be in the field. You know, doing the actual work and producing research that can be reviewed by your peers.
Techincally, there are HS teachers who do get out into the field.

Get out into what field? Are you claiming that a HS teacher is qualified as a research scientist out in the field publishing peer reviewed science papers?

Can you list a few examples of their research projects or name of these HS teachers?

This is going to be my last response to you.

1) Skepticalscience is a blog website, and even the founder calls it a blog website, the wiki calls it a blog website. I'm not sure why you got so triggered when I also called it a blog website.

2) There are plenty of peer-reviewed scientific publications which don't agree with the consensus view on climate-change. It is incredibly easy to manipulate data to fit your desired outcome.

Even if you accept the 97% consensus, there are still 3% who disagree. And those 3% are not just high-school teachers.

If you want to know where the 97% number comes from, read this.

Really you are needing me to spoon feed you AGAIN?

Nope its both a blog and a resource website. Do you know what resources they provide? Hint: Peer reviewed published papers and Climate Policies.

I've listed it several times using the Wiki link that you posted!
  • Skeptical Science has become a resource about climate change, and praised for its straightforwardness.
  • Marine biologist Ove Hoegh-Guldberg has described it as "the most prominent knowledge-based website dealing with climate change in the world",
  • and The Washington Post has praised it as the "most prominent and detailed" website to counter arguments by global warming skeptics.
  • In September 2011, the site won the 2011 Eureka Prize from the Australian Museum in the category of Advancement of Climate Change Knowledge.

LOL You've got a lot to learn.

Quantifying the consensus on anthropogenic global warming in the scientific literature

Now let's see what this Richard Muller that you've introduced is about.

Climate Misinformation by Source: Richard Muller

Not very impressive for being a science professor. He's what's known as an outlier. He fits in the same outlier class as Michael J. Behe who is a science professor who believes in creationism. Confirmation bias can even be seen within the science community. It's not a common occurrence which is why these folks are outliers. That's just simple statistics...there will always be a few outliers.

I have never been to a blog that doesn't link to peer-reviewed published papers. People in this thread link to peer-review published papers. Wikipedia links to peer-reviewed published papers. Does that make wikipedia a good source?

And do all peer-reviewed papers say the same things?

I'm starting to think you're getting paid to post here.

Of course you do...that's all your imagination can come up with. You just don't possess the aptitude to intelligently participate at even a basic level about this subject.

Not that guy...he could not convince anyone of anything. He's not even doing a good job of putting up the climate denier front.

Epic failure on all levels.

I could understand why you feel that way, because there really are people who are paid to post here. When I was on 4chan, someone leaked a list of websites they were being paid to post on. I was surprised that this board was on the list. And another on the list was a bodybuilding forum, can't remember what else. That was back in 2016 though.

They are currently spending hundreds of millions in the midterms. So anywhere with a lot of people will be targeted by shills and troll farms.
