guitars made from trees are a source of deforestation

Says the catfish who runs around spamming his snake song.

Which is catchy though, I'll admit.

Yes.

Love it.

yes !

Aristides makes guitars with no wood, that's why I mentioned them

since you were acting like you were interested in environmental issues

Hey, how'd you get a picture of my wife?

Why are you skeptical of the consensus? @qwasi

cosby gf

Imagine drinking that sour curdled titty milk

how was that

because one day it's sunny and the next day it rains, the weather changes all the time

And?

And I know that makes Vlad mad. That's why I said it

So that’s not your reason for being skeptical of the consensus?

no

lol

What are your reasons?

I'll respond to you momentarily

busy atm

Ok.

how do I put quoted shit inside a box?

Take your time googling, lad. Nobody's pressing you.

You do ‘’>

Absolutely not.

> The “97 percent” statistic first appeared prominently in a 2009 study by University of Illinois master’s student Kendall Zimmerman and her adviser, Peter Doran. Based on a two-question online survey, Zimmerman and Doran concluded that “the debate on the authenticity of global warming and the role played by human activity is largely nonexistent among those who understand the nuances and scientific bases of long-term climate processes” — even though only 5 percent of respondents, or about 160 scientists, were climate scientists. In fact, the “97 percent” statistic was drawn from an even smaller subset: the 79 respondents who were both self-reported climate scientists and had “published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change.” These 77 scientists agreed that global temperatures had generally risen since 1800, and that human activity is a “significant contributing factor.”

> A year later, William R. Love Anderegg, a student at Stanford University, used Google Scholar to determine that “97–98% of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field surveyed here support the tenets of ACC [anthropogenic climate change] outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.” The sample size did not much improve on Zimmerman and Doran’s: Anderegg surveyed about 200 scientists.

> Surely the most suspicious “97 percent” study was conducted in 2013 by Australian scientist John Cook — author of the 2011 book Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand and creator of the blog Skeptical Science (subtitle: “Getting skeptical about global warming skepticism.”). In an analysis of 12,000 abstracts, he found “a 97% consensus among papers taking a position on the cause of global warming in the peer-reviewed literature that humans are responsible.” “Among papers taking a position” is a significant qualifier: Only 34 percent of the papers Cook examined expressed any opinion about anthropogenic climate change at all. Since 33 percent appeared to endorse anthropogenic climate change, he divided 33 by 34 and — voilà — 97 percent! When David Legates, a University of Delaware professor who formerly headed the university’s Center for Climatic Research, recreated Cook’s study, he found that “only 41 papers — 0.3 percent of all 11,944 abstracts or 1.0 percent of the 4,014 expressing an opinion, and not 97.1 percent,” endorsed what Cook claimed. Several scientists whose papers were included in Cook’s initial sample also protested that they had been misinterpreted. “Significant questions about anthropogenic influences on climate remain,” Legates concluded.

So it’s the people behind the consensus that you disagree with?

I guess the people making that claim, yes. And the methods they used to come to that number

Alright. So what you disagree with is the people and the methods they use to come to that number, is it the actual climate scientists that took party in the survey or the people who made the survey?
