Yes, but that only happens 62% of the time.

Studies have been shown to be a leading cause of statistics.

83.47%

Please get your numbers straight. < /s>

This is similar to how we have a global temperature for a year calculated to within a tenth of a degree Celsius. Ever wonder how that gets calculated? Yeah, me too. And I’ll donate another $25 on top of my monthly if you can find a clear exposition on that. From what I can tell, it doesn’t exist.

Another statistic I’d like to really have - what is the average amount of AGW grant money those 97% of the 1,372 scientists received over the last 5 years. Follow the money.
