This 1 chart exposes climate-science deniers as frauds

[Zorro]

Yes, this one pie chart exposes the great science-deniers hoax. The first version of the chart came in 2012 based on research by geologist James Powell on DeSmogBlog, updated last year. Powell is a science author whose works include “The Inquisition of Climate Science.” A former college and museum president, Powell was a member of the National Science Board for 12 years, appointed by President Reagan and George H. W. Bush. Powell is the executive director of the National Physical Science Consortium.

Powell’s pie chart reveals why climate-science deniers have zero credibility in attacking the United Nation’s International Panel on Climate Change, the UN-IPCC’s 2,500 member scientists, or the IPCC’s five assessment reports published since 1988. Science deniers were especially upset with the scientific consensus in the fifth assessment report: that “97% of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities.”

Yes, “the gold standard of science is the peer-reviewed literature,” says Powell. “If there is disagreement among scientists, based not on opinion but on hard evidence, it will be found in the peer-reviewed literature,” where theories, research, conclusions and opinions can be openly challenged. Climate-science deniers avoid such exposure.

Powell searched the Web of Science for peer-reviewed scientific articles published between Jan. 1, 1991 and Nov. 9, 2012, that have the keyword phrases “global warming” or “global climate change.” The search produced 13,950 articles. Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science is the “premier research platform for information in the sciences.”

3. There is only one thing you have to say to climate change deniers...

"it doesn't matter what you think about this any more than it matters what you think about math.
Stop thinking your opinion matters about everything. You're just not that important."

4. 97% of 2,500 UN climate scientists agree, humans cause global warming

I copied & pasted that for anyone wanting to know what's on the chart.

I tried copying & pasting the actual chart but had trouble doing so.

Maybe someone else can.

This is great information. Thanks for sharing it here Zorro!

It is obviously a massive conspiracy of peers.

7. I wish we lived in a world where this mattered...

The entire system of capitalism and neo-wage slavery/debt has to be destroyed before it destroys us.

Just look at reality for half a second...400,000 people march and the powers that be do not even bother to fake interest or concern.
Protesting is a quaint, cute relic of a time when people mattered more than power and power wasn't given to the highest bidder.

The western civilization of the 20th century is killing the planet and is incapable of reform. Conservatives may want to drag the government into the bathroom and drown it, but I believe in my heart the only way to save ourselves is to shrink capitalism to the size that IT can be dragged into the bathroom and drowned along with all of its proponents.

The time for action is passed. The time for out right revolt and destruction of the system is nigh...
