Climate, Volume 11, Issue 11

November 2023 - 18 articles

Cover Story: In the public eye, there is an overwhelming (over 99%) consensus among scientists regarding the anthropogenic origin of climate change. This perceived consensus stems mainly from a group of papers (the recent one published in 2021) where the consensus was evaluated by scanning abstracts of scientific papers and guessing from these abstracts the opinion of the authors on the consensual statement. Dentelski et al. point out (and demonstrate) a series of biases in this study (and in abstract-scanning consensus studies in general). Flaws such as rater bias, mellow abstract bias, neutral paper bias and more point to the conclusion that the “99% consensus” statement simply does not follow the data, and that claims for “climate consensus” should be considered more carefully.
