turbguy + 1,537 October 16 Ever notice when there's a large amount of agreement over "something", it begins to resemble the truth? Greater than 99% consensus on human caused climate change in the peer-reviewed scientific literature Abstract While controls over the Earth's climate system have undergone rigorous hypothesis-testing since the 1800s, questions over the scientific consensus of the role of human activities in modern climate change continue to arise in public settings. We update previous efforts to quantify the scientific consensus on climate change by searching the recent literature for papers sceptical of anthropogenic-caused global warming. From a dataset of 88125 climate-related papers published since 2012, when this question was last addressed comprehensively, we examine a randomized subset of 3000 such publications. We also use a second sample-weighted approach that was specifically biased with keywords to help identify any sceptical peer-reviewed papers in the whole dataset. We identify four sceptical papers out of the sub-set of 3000, as evidenced by abstracts that were rated as implicitly or explicitly sceptical of human-caused global warming. In our sample utilizing pre-identified sceptical keywords we found 28 papers that were implicitly or explicitly sceptical. We conclude with high statistical confidence that the scientific consensus on human-caused contemporary climate change—expressed as a proportion of the total publications—exceeds 99% in the peer reviewed scientific literature. https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac2966 1 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I agree with this consensus, an appeal to majority is a logical error. There are many examples in history where a singe person was right and had to fight back against the majority opinion. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But this is not how science works, science is not a show of hands or a count of loyalty, it is a testing ground for hypotheses. Whenever this type of count is done, it is nothing to do with actual research, but rather political exercise to try and squeeze some headlines for a point of view. In real science, there are no points of view. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just don't let a climate scientist hear you say that. Weather is not climate, however, the frequency of rare weather events can be used to measure the climate. Insurance companies have tables of how often certain events should happen. If a one-in-a-100-year weather event starts happening much more frequently than than one in a hundred years that is evidence of climate change. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
