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.

I agree, and it goes further than just priests! Here are some interesting factoids for you:
97% of the children believe in Santa
97% of paranoid believe they are being followed
97% of the homoeopaths believe in homoeopathy
97% of the astrologists believe in astrology
97% of the KKK think lynchmobs are a good thing
97% of the intelligent design gang are absolutely convinced that God made it all
97% of all the interviewed Zen buddists were convinced it is possible to clap with one hand
97% of the paganist movement think sandals are fashionable
97% of the physicians didnt believe in washing their hands before doing surgery
97% of the politicians think they are doing some great things
================================================================
I’ve added a few.
97% of dogs believe in hanging their noses out car windows
97% of cats believe in long naps
97% of Playboy models believe in taking all their clothes off
97% of cooks believe in cooking with heat (the rest are sushi chefs)
Readers are welcome to add to the list
97% of climate scientists should get out more…
“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?”
================================================================
97% of those who fantasize about Hockey Sticks prefer fantasy to facts.
97% of those who produce Hockey Sticks believe irrational numbers are rational.
97% of those who profit from Hockey Sticks rationalize irrational numbers.
I, ah, can clap with one hand. Its not an imaginary thing.
Seems 97% of warmists are as brilliant as a post I dug up at SKS: “heat is not temperature”.
