The claim:

"97% of scientists agree on man-made global warming"

The deboonk:

  • claim based on 12,000 papers
  • 7,930 had no position on the subject, either way
  • 3,896 claimed that humans "contributed to" climate change (how much they "contributed" was not specified)
  • 78 said humans did not contribute to climate change
  • 40 remained undecided
  • the 7,930 papers without a position on the subject, were discarded
  • 12,000 - 7,930 - 78 - 40 = 3,778 => 3,778 / 3,896 x 100 = "97%" 👌😏

I downloaded the article. Nothing in it indicates that data was 'manufactured'.

These claims of fabricated data are entirely from Lt. Col. John Shewchuk, but no source is provided as evidence. (Typical for zerohedge.com, which is a disinformation website.)

Who is Lt. Col. John Shewchuk? According to his Twitter page, he's devoted to refuting causes of climate change, spreading that disinformation across several networks he belongs to.

It's John Shewchuk who fabricates data.

As usual, zerohedge.com is spreading disinformation.

Who does this benefit? Who pays for this? Guess.

Interesting.

I always suspect agendas when logical fallacies are used.

I remember when satellite measurements were supposed to settle everything, but then they started to diverge from the rising ground temperatures, so they started to conjecture about "missing heat."

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/02/240221213839.htm claims Russia as a whole doesn't benefit from climate change. Who really benefits from denying climate change? Just some oil and gas people? If the world is on fire and they are universally hated, what do they want to do with their money when they can't visit Venice anymore (because it is under water), visit the Rocky Mountains (because of extreme winds), or ski (because there is no snow anymore)?

It's a scientific fact that lowering CO2 concentrations is good for people (or more specifically higher concentrations are bad for concentration). As such, who can possibly be against that? Whether or not it heats up the planet (spoiler alert from the 1890s: it does), is not even relevant.
