Heh, this is from a commenter at Slashdot on Cook’s fatally flawed 97% consensus paper. While a bit harsh, it’s also funny. He responds to:
Yeah! It’s like saying that 97% of priests believe in god anyway.

Yeah…superb put down, the guy who said that knows how to address these issues. Like I said, facts count for squat, communication must carry a punch and it must play with the enemies established beliefs (they are nearly all atheist assholes arent they…not saying atheists are assholes, but those assholes are atheists, can it be denied)..
The majority of sceptic discussion I see, quibbling over the minutiae of data and theoretical arguments…well go flush it, its just blowing in the wind.
No matter how hard you blow, the wind will always be stronger.
97% of all statistics are made up.

Wait a moment – a flicker of reason at slashdot? The last place you would expect reason to reside? This is starting to look like a bad hair day for the warmists.

I was at the stoplight the other day. My sister was driving. My older sister. Now, you’ve all heard that teenagers text message while driving. My sister’s approaching seventy, well past the teenage years (since seventy is, obviously, well past the teens I don’t know why I needed to emphasize that). And, guess what? She text messages. Incredible.
Anyway, at the stoplight she really wanted to get in a round of texting since, instead of having her texting annoyingly distracted by the diversion of driving, at that point she could now put her all into it. She assigned me sentry to stand guard against the green light. I thought to myself, “She’s driving, damn it, I’m not.” So I got even by being extra diligent in my sentry duty. So, as she was completely immersed in the tip tapping of her phone I said, suddenly, “The light’s…” Her head shot up, foot flicked off the brake, and at that, I completed; “still red.” She reapplied the brake, gave me a quick, dirty, disgusted look and returned to her love affair with the phone. I thought to myself, ‘what the heck, this is fun,’ so I once again said, “The light’s … red.” The same reaction ensued.
What’s the point to all of this? Well, you see my sister responded to a believe in a green light, not a mere 97% of the time, no, a big whopping 100% of the time. And, at no point in time was that light green. Does this resemble climate science?
P.S. Don’t think she hasn’t done these kind of things to me.
97% of scientists applying for a federal grant know that if they can in some possible stretch of the imagination tie their grant to global warming they’ll get it approved.
(I have some pretty funny specific examples – but except for the AGW excuse – the science they are studying is quite worthwhile and the creative ways they tie this in to get their money is amazing)
