Here's my helpful hint of the day.
Did you ever hear the lie that 97% of all climatologists agree that man made global warming is real and harmful?
This lie comes from articles like this:
Visually depicting the disconnect between climate scientists, media and the public
The truth? This lie has spread like a virus. It's source is this study:
In our survey,the most specialized and knowledgeable respondents (with regard to climate change) are those who listed climate science as their area of expertise and who
also have published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change (79 individuals in total). Of these specialists, 96.2% (76 of 79) answered “risen” to question 1 and 97.4% (75 of 77) answered yes to question 2.

So in the world of Global Warming "science", 70 some odd anonymous people become a 97% unequivocal consensus.
Never let the facts get in the way of your dream.
