Gore's Fuzzy Logic
To those of you who suffered through Al Gore's Climate Reality Project
you saw how he compared the skeptics to the tobacco companies of the
60's. Back then the Tobacco companies hired scientists to study the
health effects of cigarette smoking. He is saying because these
scientists had a vested interest in the outcome of their work, they
found that smoking wasn't harmful. Of course later we discovered that it
was indeed harmful because the evidence was overwhelming.

In a way Al Gore is right, scientists who have a vested interest in
their studies might be prejudice in their work. The problem is Al Gore
is pointing his finger the wrong way. The 97% of Climatologists who get
paid to study Global Warming have a vested interest in Global Warming
being real.

On the other hand scientists who don't have a vested interest have
overwhelmingly said that global warming isn't happening. In fact the
number is just the opposite of what Al is saying, 96% of scientists
don't believe in global warming.

The study that Al mentions came out last year saying 97% off scientists
believe in climate change, they surveyed 1,372 known working climate
researchers and found 97% of them still believe in global warming. I
think this pool is tainted because these are scientist who get paid to
study "Global Warming" which is a conflict of interest. That's like
asking tobacco company scientists if they think smoking is harmful.

On the other hand the Petition Project has 31,000 scientists who have
put their reputations on the line and have received no money and signed
a petition saying that they don't believe in man-made global warming.
Also 66% of meteorologists DON'T believe in man-made global warming.

Also 66% of meteorologists DON'T believe in man-made global warming.
So let's do the math 97% of 1,372 is 1,330 who still believe in global
warming compared to 31,487 who don't. That's only 1 out 24 or 4% of
scientists who still believe in global warming.

I think those of us who are on the skeptical side of the debate should
use the other side's tactic and repeat this over and over again ad
nauseum. 96% of Scientists DON'T believe in Global Warming.
