The consensus about global warming among scientists (Image: James Powell)
I just want to highlight this illuminating infographic by James Powell in which, based on more than 2000 peer-reviewed publications, he counts the number of authors from November, 2012 to December, 2013 who explicitly deny global warming (that is, who propose a fundamentally different reason for temperature rise than anthropogenic CO2). The number is exactly one. In addition Powell also has helpful links to the abstracts and main text bodies of the relevant papers.
It’s worth noting how many authors agree with the basic fact of global warming – more than nine thousand. And that’s just in a single year. Now I understand as well as anyone else that consensus does not imply truth but I find it odd how there aren’t even a handful of scientists who deny global warming presumably because the global warming mafia threatens to throttle them if they do. It’s not like we are seeing a 70-30% split, or even a 90-10% split. No, the split is more like 99.99-0.01%.

Scientific American was, at one time, both scientific and American.
No longer.
More like when Stalin was elected.
Dear Climate Change scientists:
LAST WEEK THE SUN, the source of all energy on earth: either on the ground, under the ground in pools or rock strata, or above the ground as wind, solar, thermal, waves, batteries, or whatever;
Reversed it’s magnetic poles, so that the Sun’s north pole, became it’s South pole, fully changing its proton emissions.
Please Mr. Scientist, explain the impact of that change to the Sun, as it relates to the next few centuries of life on the Earth!
I’m, waiting!
And there could be serious career danger, especially when publications like Scientific American come out explicitly against those who disagree with the zeitgeist. They're clearly not interested in REAL science, just 'popular' science.

..............Actually, the sun reverses poles every 11 years or so..........
Yes, I totally understand the 11 year cycle.
Do our esteemed climate change experts, like Algore, also understand that the Sun is ever changing, and what possible impact could that be for all the planets within our solar system???

We know this from Mann's leaked emails. There is a coordinated effort to suppress dissent. You agree with them or your career is over.
And the reason they do this is so they can write articles like this, trumpeting "consensus."
Yeah. And 100% of the Politburo voted for Stalin.
I hope to God that those that fear Global Warming are right. If you look at Geologic History, life and man thrived during the inter glacial periods. The Inter glacial periods have lasted from 10 to 20 thousands years with glacial periods of 100 thousand years or more. The normal state of the earth is glaciation and not our present and probably short lived state of inter glaciation.
CO2 did not start or end the last ice age. Orbital mechanics and the magnetosphere of the sun is the cause of ice ages and the brief periods between in which life flourishes.
“Pray for global warming,” as the alternative is a vast lose of life and diversity of living things on our planet.
Of course global warming could be caused by man. The question is how much, does it matter, and may cooling trends counteract any warming.
It is nothing to do with global warming. It is all about fat grant money and cushy academic sinecures for talentless faux intellectuals. They would be doing stoop labor without this issue
9999 of we scientists do not agree with you therefore you are wrong and will be silenced, mocked, and professionally destroyed.
909 people drank cyanide tainted grape flavoraid in Guyana 35 years ago. 9 survived. Those 9 are wrong because they are in a 99% minority.
Liberal logic. EVERYTHING contradicting global warming is ignore and impugned. Russian scientists are not only challenging the global warming cult but presenting evidence for global cooling. The alarmists own reaction over the past 40 years show what a fraud the climate change profit industry remains. Global cooling, global warming, climate change. They have been wrong time after time.
The fact is that the earth, Mars, Venus, and other planets experienced global warming for a number of years. The global warming ended 18 years ago.
Accepting global warming is not the same as believing that it was caused by mankind.
The dominant factor in climate change is the Sun.
This half cooked analysis leaves out the context, duration, and causal factors. It is another propaganda piece.
The methodology is to search for articles on climate change and then count as agreement all article other that don’t disprove AGW, whether or not that is their design. For example:
A knowledge-aid approach for designing high-performance buildings
This article proves or disproves nothing about AGW. It’s counted as part of the consensus because it has nothing to do with AGW.
The colder the ocean gets, the more CO2 it traps. The warmer it gets, the more CO2 it expels.
Atmospheric CO2 has been much higher than today coincident with much lower global temperatures.
