Scientific truth is not established by a poll

Scientific truth is not established by a poll 

People often cite John Cook’s “97 percent of climate scientists” statistic as if it were fact and as if it meant anything if it were fact. It has long been established that Cook’s methods in reaching this conclusion were deeply flawed using cherry picked data and misleading statistics, like most of the published climate science. In any case, scientific truth is not established by a poll.

And for the capstone argument: Obama says “climate change is a growing and urgent threat.” President Obama is hardly an expert on the topic, but then he has also been wrong about issues nearer to his area of expertise, like the Affordable Care Act. As with climate change, Obama’s representations on the ACA demonstrated that he either was woefully ignorant of the facts, or else he knowingly lied to support political objectives.

When one cites John Cook’s “97 percent of climate scientists” statistic as if it were fact and as if it meant anything if it were fact. It has long been established that Cook’s methods in reaching this conclusion were deeply flawed using cherry picked data and misleading statistics, like most of the published climate science. In any case, scientific truth is not established by a poll.

How many more years of global temperatures that stubbornly fail to rise in spite of increasing CO2 will it take before people understand that the climate science computer models are fatally flawed?
