"97% Of Climate Scientists Agree" Is 100% Wrong

A recent post by Zenphamy referenced the allegation that 97% of climate scientists agree that global warming exists and is man-made. This article completely refutes the 97% finding. In other words, it's hogwash.

    Yes we had that 1 week 2 days go.
    Anyway, it gives me an opportunity to yak some more, so. ..

    Supposing you see a statement by one hundred scientists from the State Science Institute,
    it makes a claim, what weight do you give it?

    Certainly not 100.
    Perhaps a weight of one since the chief decides and the others go along if they want to keep their jobs.
    On reflection, I think the correct weighting is zero since the chief takes his orders from the politician who gave him the job.
