Ninety seven percent is not what you think

“How can you deny that man made global warming is real when 97 percent of climate scientists agree that it is true?” It’s easy when you understand where the 97% number comes from. For one thing, the survey on which it was based was sent to over 10,000 scientists, but only 3,100 responded. The 97% is addressing the 3,100 who answered, not the other 7,000 who didn’t give a crap. Somehow the AGW cultists didn’t feel the need to mention that.
