Well it is actually 97% of 79 responses to a survey that claimed climate science expertise out of 3,146 scientists that responded to a survey.

The "97 percent" figure in the Zimmerman/Doran survey represents the views of only 79 respondents who listed climate science as an area of expertise and said they published more than half of their recent peer-reviewed papers on climate change. Seventy-nine scientists—of the 3,146 who responded to the survey—does not a consensus make.

There is a lot more in that link on similar claims. The entire field of climate 'science' is riddled with wild claims that have no support in reality but make extremely good press releases.
