Friday Funny – great moments in 97% beliefs

C02_TCP_social_media_image_97[1]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.

“97% of the paranoid believe they’re being followed.”
You’d be paranoid if 97% of all people were out to get you, too.

Cook explains the situation at his site:
“This result isn’t surprising for two reasons:
1) most journals have strict word limits for their abstracts, and
2) frankly, every scientist doing climate research knows humans are causing global warming. There’s no longer a need to state something so obvious. For example, would you expect every geological paper to note in its abstract that the Earth is a spherical body that orbits the sun?”

… what beats me is that people here fail to recognize that the climate (at least in the north Atlantic) has warmed since the mid nighties … the reason … who knows … but it’s a fact!

Seems 97% of warmists are as brilliant as a post I dug up at SKS: “heat is not temperature”.
