Obama recycles the 97% of scientists believe in man-made CO2 forced global warming crap again...

Obama first tweeted this claim on May 16, 2013 and used it again in today’s ,speech.

Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous. Read more: /4lEEBYtVqf

The study that this number originates from, Cook et al. (2013), is fatally flawed from a sampling point of view. Also, many scientists claim their papers were misrepresented.

Is this an accurate representation of your paper?

“Certainly not correct and certainly misleading. The paper is
strongly against AGW, and documents its absence in the sea level
observational facts. Also, it invalidates the mode of sea level handling
by the IPCC.” – Dr. Morner

“I am sure that this rating of no position on AGW by CO2 is
nowhere accurate nor correct. Rating our serious auditing paper from
just a reading of the abstract or words contained in the title of the
paper is surely a bad mistake.” – Dr. Soon

“No, if Cook et al’s paper classifies my paper, ‘A
Multidisciplinary, Science-Based Approach to the Economics of Climate
Change’ as “explicitly endorses AGW but does not quantify or minimize,”
nothing could be further from either my intent or the contents of my
paper.” – Dr. Carlin
