Padawan, it's not only me that can see right through your thinly cloaked vail of bias, keep making a skeptical of yourself (pun intended)
Just so you know the facts. The 97% consensus crap was done by John Cook of Skeptical Science, the same John Cook that is the blogger and cartoonist, not a scientist.
Anyone can do a simple google search and figure all this media garbage out.
The study did NOT come directly from NASA or NOAA, do your research, Mr. Understands Science.
There I addressed it, and with indisputable facts.
Is that so, smart guy?
"Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities,and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources."
https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/
American Association for the Advancement of Science
"The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society."
American Chemical Society
"Comprehensive scientific assessments of our current and potential future climates clearly indicate that climate change is real, largely attributable to emissions from human activities, and potentially a very serious problem."
American Geophysical Union
"Human‐induced climate change requires urgent action. Humanity is the major influence on the global climate change observed over the past 50 years. Rapid societal responses can significantly lessen negative outcomes."
American Medical Association
"Our AMA ... supports the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s fourth assessment report and concurs with the scientific consensus that the Earth is undergoing adverse global climate change and that anthropogenic contributions are significant."
American Meteorological Society
"It is clear from extensive scientific evidence that the dominant cause of the rapid change in climate of the past half century is human-induced increases in the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrous oxide."
American Physical Society
"The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now."
The Geological Society of America
"The Geological Society of America (GSA) concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2006), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) that global climate has warmed and that human activities (mainly greenhouse‐gas emissions) account for most of the warming since the middle 1900s."
International academies: Joint statement
"Climate change is real. There will always be uncertainty in understanding a system as complex as the world’s climate. However there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring. The evidence comes from direct measurements of rising surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures and from phenomena such as increases in average global sea levels, retreating glaciers, and changes to many physical and biological systems. It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities (IPCC 2001)."
U.S. National Academy of Sciences
"The scientific understanding of climate change is now sufficiently clear to justify taking steps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere."
U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
U.S. Global Change Research Program
"The global warming of the past 50 years is due primarily to human-induced increases in heat-trapping gases. Human 'fingerprints' also have been identified in many other aspects of the climate system, including changes in ocean heat content, precipitation, atmospheric moisture, and Arctic sea ice."
INTERGOVERNMENTAL BODIES
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
“Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level.”
“Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely* due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.”
*IPCC defines ‘very likely’ as greater than 90 percent probability of occurrence.

John Cook, the mastermind cartoonist behind all these different organizations indepently agreeing on anthropogenic climate change, a global conspiracy spanning every continent and hundreds of thousands of people manipulating data to secure government funding...
Are you aware the average salary of these scientists is less than $50K-$100K/year?
No, of course you're not aware of that..
Meanwhile, McConnell & Inhofe rake in nearly a million and a half between them, in one year..
How you have the audacity to accuse me of ignoring the money trail is beyond my scope of understanding
You've been on this rock twice as long as me. I give you the benefit of the doubt since you didn't grow up with the internet like I did, but your ignorance is unjustifiable at this point. You have a goddamn internet business for fucks sake, you should know this stuff by now. Your ego and arrogance prevent you from acknowledging the facts because the facts contradict your worldview and you haven't learned how to say "I don't know" without feeling shame. I'm here to tell you, it's more than shameful to perpetuate such an egregious fairytale as climate change denial, and you do more damage to your character in that endeavor than you otherwise would by simply admitting your ignorance and moving forward.
