From their original paper -
"We analyze the evolution of the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming (AGW) in the peer-reviewed scientific literature, examining 11 944 climate abstracts from 1991–2011 matching the topics 'global climate change' or 'global warming'. We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW,
32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming.
Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming."
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/8/2/024024So they got their results from only looking at the papers that suited their purpose. That is not how science is done.
Read the extract again.
1. "2/3rds expressed no position on AGW".
OK. So presumably that group did not address the AGW-CO2 emissions theory at all.
2. "1/3 endorsed AGW", ie about 4000 of the papers examined did accept AGW-CO2 emissions as a cause of global warming.
3. The last sentence seems to be a restatement ("97%") of the second point.
As far as "science not working that way", the complexity of climate renders 100% truth impossible to achieve.
So close the filthy, price-gouging, health-destroying fossil industry, ASAP.
Resource mobilization, not finance, is...oh never mind.
