So 97% of the 32.6% who endorse AGW endorse AGW. That simply means that 32% endorse AGW in the context of the abstract.
And approximately 0% don't endorse man made global warming

Why doesn't this occur in the non scientific community???? Why the difference???

D.) They don't.
Needs two options:

1. I am a clueless follower who obtains their information from a crackjack box news source.
2. I am a devious liar trying to promote propaganda for my cause.

Either way, worthless... completely worthless human being.

97 percent of scientific studies agree on manmade global warming, so what now?
He isn't a scientist for one.

He is a cartoonist (john cook, no actually, that is his profession) who runs a political site called Skeptical Science which has been shown to be nothing more than a propaganda site for his political beliefs. He has been caught countless times on his site for editing the responses of any ACTUAL scientist who comes to his site to defend their paper. He lies, he edits commentary from his posters to shape his political narrative. If you want proof, by all means... just say so and I can show you many times where he has done such acts.

This is a political media move and anyone who knows anything about that site knows they are loony activists. They can't defend themselves, they are so wrong, that to even suggest they are right says you are completely stupid. Seriously, look up the details about skeptical science and John Cook. They aren't "scientific" they are a voice for the CAGW position under the guise of "objective" view. They are a joke. Read up on everything you can find concerning them, evaluate it, weight it, and see the joke for what it is.

These guys are SERIOUSLY frigging idiots.

Yes, you've just done a great job of proving the saying "statistics don't lie, but liar use statistics".

97% of the scientists thought the world was flat at one point, and that the earth revolved around the moon.

but to answer your question, its because they rely upon other scientists to do research and those other scientists have been caught lying..

This statement is bizarre. First off you don't endorse global warming. Secondly, how in the world do you know what the so-called non-scientific or scientific community thinks?

This has to be the dumbest analogy ever considering what applications scientists had then compared to what they have now.

And it's always funny that right wingers claim the scientists are "following the money" when many of the papers that are indicating that anthropometric global warming is NOT occurring are funded by private sources such as the fossil fuel industry.

Probably the best argument against global warming is the one that indicates that the climate is too fluid to measure over a short time span.

I those 97% of scientist are about as accurate as this scientist....

He even made up data for the graduate students he supervised. He would tell them he was doing their experiments for them, an unusual move, as many professors prefer to leave that tedium for their underlings.
But don't worry, all scientist are accurate...cause they say so....
