If 99% of structural engineers told you to not go into a building, would you still go in?

The editor of that article was playing games with facts. Moore has in fact been a spokesman for nuclear power, fossil fuel, logging, PVC, and GMO industries for more than 20 years. Moore joined Greenpeace a year after it was founded. He s affectionately known as the "Hippy for Hire", and no one takes much of what he says seriously.

Strawman alert.

I challenge you to identify anyone on this board who believes that the Earth's climate has not changed or the Earth has not warmed, depending on when you start your measurements. Personally, I am partial to the last ice age around 12,000 to 20,000 years ago.

Also, your 99% number is a flat out lie. And so is the 97% number that leftists regularly cite regarding either all scientists or all climate scientists support for the AGW alarmism hypothesis. I challenge you to provide a statistically sound source for either one of these numbers.

You cannot do it, because it does not exist.

LOL. I'm not going to waste time debating you. You are so wrong it's unfixable.

I have posted this challenge repeatedly and like all of the rest, you have nothing. It is a flat out lie and I dare anyone to try and prove me wrong. But I am not wrong, am I?

You cannot provide any statistically sound support for this fabricated claim that 97% of either all scientists or of all climate scientists support the AGW alarmism hypothesis, because it does not exist.
