Res. Lett. 8 024024

  • For an assessment of the Cooke et al paper and its claim of 97%, see: Andrew Montford, "Consensus? What Consensus?", GWPF Note 5, The Global Warming Policy Foundation (September 2013) (https://www.thegwpf.org/montford-consensus/).

    • In the Montford piece, there's a revealing quotation by Mike Hulme (Professor of Climate and Culture, Department of Geography, King's College London):

  "The "97% consensus" article is poorly conceived, poorly designed and poorly executed. It obscures the complexities of the climate issue and it is a sign of the desperately poor level of public and policy debate in this country that the energy minister should cite it. It offers a similar depiction of the world into categories of ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ to that adopted in Anderegg et al.’s 2010 equally poor study in PNAS: dividing publishing climate scientists into ‘believers’ and ‘non-believers’. It seems to me that these people are still living (or wishing to live) in the pre-2009 world of climate change discourse. Haven’t they noticed that public understanding of the climate issue has moved on?"
