Cook’s fallacy “97% consensus” study is a marketing ploy some journalists will fall for


The new paper confounds climate research with financial forces, is based on the wrong assumptions, uses fallacious reasoning, wasn’t independent, and confuses a consensus of climate scientists for a scientific consensus, not that a consensus proves anything anyway, if it existed.

The twelve clues that good science journalists ought to notice:

1. Thousands of papers support man-made climate change, but not one found the evidence that matters

Cook may have found 3,896 papers endorsing the theory that man-made emissions control the climate, but he cannot name one paper with observations that shows that the assumptions of the IPCC climate models about water vapor and cloud feedbacks are correct. ….(More)

2. Cook’s study shows 66% of papers didn’t endorse man-made global warming

….(More)

3. Cook’s method is a logical fallacy: Argument from Authority. This is not science, it’s PR.

….(More)

4. The number of papers is a proxy for funding

As government funding grew, scientists redirected their work to study areas that attracted grants. It’s no conspiracy, just Adam Smith at work. There was no funding for skeptical scientists to question the IPCC or the theory that man-made climate science exaggerates the warming. More than $79 billion was poured into climate science research and technology from 1989 to 2009. ….(More)

Sheer quantity of abstracts endorsing man-made climate change has increased, but so has the funding.

….(More)

5. Most of these consensus papers assume the theory is correct but never checked. They are irrelevant.

Cook gives the following as an example of a paper with implicit endorsement: “‘. . . carbon sequestration in soil is important for mitigating global climate change’. Any researcher studying carbon sequestion has almost certainly not analyzed outgoing radiation from the upper troposphere or considered the assumptions about relative humidity in climate simulations..….(More)

6. Money paid to believers is 3500 times larger than that paid to skeptics (from all sources).

….(More)

7. Keywords searches may miss the most important skeptical papers.

….(More)

8. Some of these abstracts are 20 years old — does two decades of new evidence change anything?

….(More)

9. Naiomi Oreskes found 928 papers with abstracts that didn’t explicitly reject man-made global warming. So? Skeptics found 1,100 papers that support skeptical views.

….(More)

10. You want authority? Skeptics can name 31,500 scientists who agree, including 9,000 PhDs, 45 NASA experts (including two astronauts who walked on the moon) and two Nobel Prize winners in physics.

….(More)

11. What about Science Associations? But they are not masses of scientists — just committees of six

Most science associations never ask members to vote, . ….(More)

12. Cook pretty much says this is not about a scientific argument — it’s a tactic to change public opinion through repetition of the fallacy

The first sentence in both the introduction and the conclusion tell us that the point of this paper is about public perception and government policy. It is not about the science. It is to help change public opinion. There was no attempt to find out whether there was a scientific consensus —….(More)
