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.
Exactly right.
And that isn't even the tip of the ice berg. Every single climate prediction has been wrong. C02 has never been a temperature driver on this planet. In our own interglacial we have had at least three periods where it has been warmer than today with less C02. We have had ice ages during times when C02 were 4000 PPM. All 3 known interglacials prior to this one have been warmer with less C02. After glacial periods temperature increases first then C02 follows with a 800 year lag as the oceans warm.
Sea levels are not rising any faster than they have been. Arctic Ice is not at an all time low. Antarctic ice is growing, polar bears are thriving, heat waves were much worse in the 1930's here in the United States. An inconvenient fact that NOAA, NASA and IPCC conveniently neglect to show on their graphs, in line with the now infamous hockey stick graph of " professor" Michael Mann fame..

So if we can figure out that AGW is mostly B.S. you don't think establishment science, media and politicians can too? Of course, but saving the world is obviously not on the agenda, but keeping a multi billion dollar a year gravy train certainly is. Collateral damage of brain washed Swedish teens be damned. A very sad and scary state of affairs since we have an abundance of actual problems to solve...
