    Sorry… are you saying that a survey of what experts in a field think is happening is no indication of what is happening?

      Apparently those brainiacs with their fancy book learnin’ and expertise are useless. We must all sift through hundreds of thousands of pages of raw data before reaching any conclusions. The entire concept of career specialization is wrong! Throw it out!

        It’s a bizarre claim even for a climate change denier.

          Yeah, I used to run into you in r/skeptic a lot, fighting the good fight lol. And we both know the mods of that sub let it be overrun with all types of deniers and insane conspiracy theorists… But at least those trolls put a little more effort into it than just scoffing at experts.

      No. I’m saying that “77% of Top …etc” is a stupid way of conveying the importance of the information.

        In what way should it have been conveyed in a simple manner that non-scientists could understand? Because Common Dreams is not a scientific journal.
