Original Note:
The claim that "97%" of climate scientists support human caused global warming is false. The number was found by ignoring 7,930 (66.4%) reports on climate change for having "No Opinion" and only referenced 3,896 out of the remaining 4,014 papers or 97.1% https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/8/2/024024 https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/putting-the-con-in-consensus-not-only-is-there-no-97-per-cent-consensus-among-climate-scientists-many-misunderstand-core-issues
