97 % of scientists say it's real. 3% don't, yet the 3% get as much if not more coverage in the 'looking after our interests not yours' press.

More than 97% of the world's population thought the Earth was flat. I believe they were wrong. And so did a few scientists/mathematicians. But they were vilified and ridiculed. Or is that not the correct scientific context?

You carry on believing the exxon promoted 3%, that's your prerogative.

You could say that about all websites if you wished?

Or is that not the correct scientific context? Something of a myth. Quite a lot of the world believed the world to be spherical. Of course most peoples world extended about as far as the next town and their education was largely about their ability to produce turnips. From about 6th century Greece the argument has been made that the earth is roughly spherical, and known to be since around 300 BC. Pretty much for a long as people have been thinking in term of a world and solar system, the consensus has largely been that its shape is round. The idea of the 'everyone thought the earth was flat' is a Victorian concept, oddly born out of arguments about evolutionary theory.

Well there are sound reasons for doing a lot of the things proposed to counter global warming that don't have anything to do with global warming, of course. I definitely agree. It's just the scare tactics and the fact quite a few use it for self interest and see it as a perfect opportunity to gain off the fears of others that I don't like.
