By Joseph Bast and Roy Spencer
Secretary
of State John Kerry, President Obama
and others frequently claim that climate change
will have “crippling consequences,” and that
“Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree that
climate change is real, man-made and dangerous.”

so-called consensus comes from a handful of
surveys and exercises in counting abstracts from
scientific papers – all of which have been contra-
dicted by more reliable research.
