“97%” abuser The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) falsely equates “97% of climate scientists have concluded that human-caused climate change is happening” with ”highly damaging impacts” that we should avoid. https://t.co/lZSPd0nl7A https://t.co/XAztIX6Wnq — PolitiTweet.org

“97%” abuser Al Gore took a study about papers agreeing with the idea that “Earth’s climate is being affected by human activities” and misrepresented it to mean “we’re causing global warming and that it’s a serious problem”—adding “serious problem” from nowhere. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
“97%” abuser Barack Obama, in response to a study that said “97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming,” Tweeted “Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous”—just adding “dangerous” from nowhere. https://t.co/laiUuAYf7U — PolitiTweet.org

“97%” abuser John Kerry has falsely equated: “97% of climate scientists have confirmed that climate change is happening and that human activity is responsible.” With: “if we continue to go down the same path…the world as we know it will…change dramatically for the worse.” — PolitiTweet.org

The “97%” surveys either agree on some unspecified impact or, at most, attribute rising CO2 levels so far as the leading cause (over 50 percent) of the mild 1°C warming we have experienced to date. But they are abused to claim 97% agreement on catastrophic climate impact. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The basis of the “97% of climate scientists agree” claims consists of surveys of the field of climate science, such as looking at a large collection of papers and quantifying how many explicitly or implicitly claim that human beings are having some sort of impact on climate. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Notice how insignificant the “97%” refrain is: “97% percent of climate scientists agree that climate change is real and human-caused.” It tells us nothing about the change’s magnitude or danger. In fact, it’s consistent with mild, manageable, and economically beneficial change. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The usual purpose of saying “97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is real and human-caused” is to make you believe our climate impact is catastrophic—a “climate crisis.” But neither the statement itself nor the studies it’s based on say our impact is catastrophic. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
“97%” fallacy 1: falsely equating consensus about *some* climate impact with consensus about *catastrophic climate impact* There is consensus that fossil fuel use has some climate impact, but the “97%” claim is used to make you believe the consensus on catastrophic impact. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
While “97% of climate scientists agree” is presented as a logical, scientific argument against fossil fuels, it’s an illogical, unscientific argument that 1. Falsely equates *some* climate impact with *catastrophic* climate impact 2. Ignores the huge benefits of fossil fuels — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
If you've ever expressed the least bit of skepticism about calls to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use to prevent a “climate crisis,” you’ve probably heard the smug response: “97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is real and human-caused.” This response is inane. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Myth: 97% of climate scientists agree that we face a climate crisis that requires the rapid elimination of fossil fuels. Truth: Most climate scientists agree that we have *some* climate impact. This does not at all justify the rapid elimination of fossil fuels. 🧵👇 — PolitiTweet.org
