But what about that grand consensus -- "97 percent" -- of scientists saying the exact opposite? <http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/97percent.png> Well, economist and legal theoretician David D. Friedman wrote, this week, <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001lmK4HP_Xbd1NxrvyabxKAAg-GUhG-eYN-IFIw1AhL2pq HKvzEr7738qFHxyKsZpFnqMer2E9khj8iPC8kA9uxPsoFAb86glhOPYkcQhQ4xxQHMi6ZPgvza4a hkXVqOqkrjlbUvy4gCmn4-Osg2sZL2HrBExzAWmZAsmvnaNfwAlJhdUMYdTGXr9oEck5l-sQ9-bt GSo4X4Zqjxf9BS8jLBvjSqx7bsEkzdYNPC3K8pepB4AdZ4bU4fAOo8x1ZjDZ&c=QdwXkm7nP90i0 I5MvQOCMB5XjxF6-bcqGWEVrhmBP_9y7ETaMYnPpQ==&ch=1YqhVDOBArbjPWDUZPiI7iy8WMS8T 6v2XNdWdhV-1f5bvvtPNRcK9g==> that one of the most famous citations about the climate change consensus is the result of some, uh, data fudging. Friedman chased down the origin of that infamous and oft-repeated 97 percent figure through three papers, all available online. Despite the high tone of certainty, the scientists who collated information from surveys of other scientists did not find that "over 97% endorsed the view that the Earth is warming up and human emissions of greenhouse gases are the main cause." At best, a huge cohort of these scientists agreed that humans merely contributed to global warming. Very different. Friedman concluded that the main author responsible for the strong interpretation of weak findings, John Cook, told "a deliberate lie." This scientist's misrepresentation of "the result of his own research" doesn't prove that Anthropogenic Global Warming is true or untrue, of course. But it does suggest that the "consensus" so much talked about is shaky indeed. I began the week talking about our reliance upon experts to gather, analyze and report on information honestly and reliably. And how horrible it is when they let us down. The climate change we need is in the culture of academic responsibility. This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

When they shall have gained over to their cause the Russian autocrat, the shah of Persia, the khan of Tartary, and all the other tyrants of the world, they will find that they still lack the power to distribute mankind into groups and classes, and to annihilate the general laws of property, exchange, inheritance, and family; for even in Russia, in Persia, and in Tartary, it is necessary to a certain extent to consult the feelings, habits, and prejudices of the people. --Frédéric Bastiat Video Click HERE <http://thisiscommonsense.com/2014/02/15/video-our-pension-problem/> to see Paul's latest! <http://thisiscommonsense.com/images/GCF-vertical-logo.png> Paul Jacob is President of the Liberty Initiative Fund <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001lmK4HP_Xbd1NxrvyabxKAAg-GUhG-eYN-IFIw1AhL2pq HKvzEr77369JttOIVDk5Y34vnrl7k1yYwpmLftUCnX996NZMLHcZoz1zjE3g0U-8vPj0p0Zg8Z01 jsV_q6FV4Byf_tvYUqdJNPIL8DN8336crnph3nZ8xE0uVVmZui8=&c=QdwXkm7nP90i0I5MvQOCM B5XjxF6-bcqGWEVrhmBP_9y7ETaMYnPpQ==&ch=1YqhVDOBArbjPWDUZPiI7iy8WMS8T6v2XNdWd hV-1f5bvvtPNRcK9g==> as well as a board member of Great Communicators Foundation, which sponsors both Common Sense <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001lmK4HP_Xbd1NxrvyabxKAAg-GUhG-eYN-IFIw1AhL2pq HKvzEr77369JttOIVDk59GR3zr7njzPZpblXDAD5jAQcJXEiAxHW-JsYWv5UZLACj1UlRJxlMG7y vQ_9coi-WwHFc8dKV_0Pz-DLNbqfyn6ZfSCuxYFv2f6Gg2vNT8ugKgyfspxZ7A==&c=QdwXkm7nP 90i0I5MvQOCMB5XjxF6-bcqGWEVrhmBP_9y7ETaMYnPpQ==&ch=1YqhVDOBArbjPWDUZPiI7iy8W MS8T6v2XNdWdhV-1f5bvvtPNRcK9g==> and Paul's weekly Townhall Column <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001lmK4HP_Xbd1NxrvyabxKAAg-GUhG-eYN-IFIw1AhL2pq HKvzEr77369JttOIVDk5TrwOfMXMeB9G-QDbBfUCVp0e0Wqgs5gnHielpJaRgCscQ2S4gKG4dqRX ReLIeVHq8gC8TdPV-txxrzis2DXt2zRZAFFxdO_93yuxcHU-mT3dk6iu5N9G6bbrvBiNPZMp7KKj aTpa11s=&c=QdwXkm7nP90i0I5MvQOCMB5XjxF6-bcqGWEVrhmBP_9y7ETaMYnPpQ==&ch=1YqhV DOBArbjPWDUZPiI7iy8WMS8T6v2XNdWdhV-1f5bvvtPNRcK9g==> .
