“How can you deny that man made global warming is real when 97 percent of climate scientists agree that it is true?”
It is not what it seems.
The other 'evidence' for a consensus originated with Naomi Oreskes. It was based on 900 abstracts of published papers that dealt with global warming. Here are 900 peer reviewed papers that support skeptical arguments against human induced global warming.
Has anyone replicated her study??
A modern successful exercise in battling a consensus that turned out to be incorrect.
Citing a consensus as a valid argument isn't one. It is argument from authority. If a logic exam contained only the question about the validity of the argument from authority and you answered that it was a valid argument then flunk would be your grade.
