An example of the peril of “listen to the scientists”: climate scientist Michael Mann’s book on fossil fuels and climate doesn’t once mention the essential benefit of FF use to the availability of food—even though 8B people depend on diesel machinery and natgas fertilizer to eat! — PolitiTweet.org

But the “97% consensus” abusers try to avoid the discussion about fossil fuel benefits by pretending that the only relevant issue is whether fossil fuels have climate-side-effects—and so we should just “listen to” the anti-fossil fuel views of their preferred scientists. — PolitiTweet.org

Summary: Using “97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is real and human-caused” to argue against fossil fuels is illogical and unscientific. It: 1. Falsely equates *some* climate impact with *catastrophic* climate impact 2. Ignores the huge benefits of fossil fuels — PolitiTweet.org
