Quoted from Shadow

People should believe a theory only after it's been proven not when it only someones guess.

(Shadow clings to the 3%)
97% of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely
due to human activities, and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued
public statements endorsing this position.

The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements
and a selection of related resources:

When  scientists have falsified their findings and ignored proven facts that don't fit their theory it becomes junk science.

Quoted Text

The so-called ‘scientific consensus’ about global warming was crafted from manipulated data, expressed as a lie that says 97% of the world’s climate scientists agree that the science of warming is settled. The pundits and press passed it on to a believing public.

Except it’s wrong. And the public that believed it are looking like fools. Here’s how the ruse happened, acccording to Lawrence Soloman in Financial Post.

There are 2500 scientists associated with the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). All 2500, the media believed, endorsed the IPCC’s position on catastrophic global warming predictions. Bad factoid #1: the 2500 scientists were only associated with the IPCC. They did not endorse the IPCC’s position. Some even vehemently disagreed.

Seeking a powerful number they could use more easily, the pundits found a study conducted by the University of Illinois. More than 10,000 earth scientists participated in the study, but the researchers conducting the study highlighted the views of only a cherry-picked 77 of them. Of those, 75 stated their belief of human-caused global warming. Voila! 75 is 97% of 77. Bad factoid #2: The press passed this off as 97% of the world’s scientists believe in manmade climate change. Wow. That's a big number that's easy to pass on.

Box hoped nobody would dig deeper into that 97% because even he knows that number is full of crap

Quoted from Box A Rox

It does get tedious trying to educate the unwilling.  If Cicero would read the entire article he might
begin to understand climate change and stop making such an @ss of himself with his lame questions.

For the entire answer go to:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/cause-ice-age.html
NOVA, "what triggers ice ages"

For the short answer:

I read it.  In the first paragraph is said "carbon dioxide is a strong candidate"...That isn't a statement of fact.

Quoted from Box A Rox

(Shadow clings to the 3%)
97% of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely
due to human activities, ...

Over 97% of scientists used to believe the world was flat.

Quoted from Henry

Blah Blah Blah "Here’s how the ruse happened, according to Lawrence Soloman in Financial Post.

So who is Henry's expert, Lawrence Soloman???

Lawrence Solomon is a Canadian writer on the environment and the founder and executive
director of "Energy Probe".
Solomon is a lobbyist for the fossil fuel industries.  (huh!  Wonder if that's why he's a Climate
Change Denier?)

And what is Energy Probe, Henry's expert group???
"Energy Probe is a non-governmental environmental policy organization based
in Toronto and best known for its role in opposing nuclear power, and as a
subsidized free-market lobbyist for fossil fuels and well-known
Canadian proponent of climate change denial."

So on one side we have 97% of peer reviewed Scientists
vs
Henry's Oil Industry Lobbyist!

(The hilarious part is that Henry gets his SCIENCE from an OIL COMPANY LOBBYIST!)

So you don't deny the fact only 77 people were picked to make up your 97% claim, your claim has been proven a fraud for awhile now yet you stand by it. Either you believe the cherry picked or you tried to pass the already proven bogus numbers to spread your propaganda.

Yup only 77 were cherry picked to give the 97% figure you are claiming, that is a fact that nobody today denies

Quoted from Henry

Yup only 77 were cherry picked to give the 97% figure you are claiming, that is a fact that nobody today denies

And you have some evidence of this??? (Please not from some Oil Industry Lobbyist this time)

Quoted from Henry

So are "CLIFF HARRIS and RANDY MANN" two of the 27 climate change deniers???

You offer evidence of two "experts" and I offer (according to you) 77.  What makes you
believe these two and not the other (by your count) 77?  Other than your politics, of course.
