RSSWhat Global Warming Consensus?
J.J. Jackson* | September 4, 2007
Reality continues to clash with the hopes and desires of those that are members of the Church of Al Gore:
In 2004, history professor Naomi Oreskes performed a survey of research papers on climate change. Examining peer-reviewed papers published on the ISI Web of Science database from 1993 to 2003, she found a majority supported the “consensus view,” defined as humans were having at least some effect on global climate change. Oreskes’ work has been repeatedly cited, but as some of its data is now nearly 15 years old, its conclusions are becoming somewhat dated.Medical researcher Dr. Klaus-Martin Schulte recently updated this research. Using the same database and search terms as Oreskes, he examined all papers published from 2004 to February 2007. The results have been submitted to the journal Energy and Environment, of which DailyTech has obtained a pre-publication copy. The figures are surprising.
Of 528 total papers on climate change, only 38 (7%) gave an explicit endorsement of the consensus. If one considers “implicit” endorsement (accepting the consensus without explicit statement), the figure rises to 45%. However, while only 32 papers (6%) reject the consensus outright, the largest category (48%) are neutral papers, refusing to either accept or reject the hypothesis. This is no “consensus.”
Maybe if we were the Soviet Union and in the 1960’s the lie the enviro-Marxists tell about Global Warming being manmade would not be questioned. But this is 21st century America.
Watch for a rush of “papers” to be submitted to journals over the next couple years? months? days? hours? by those hacks looking to blame global warming on man in order to correct this “injustice”!
