Scientists say climate change is happening and that we’re exacerbating it. Don’t believe me? Check out this beautifully simple pie chart that illustrates just how rare climate denial in the scientific community is:

?w=470&h=371

That’s right. Only one — ONE — of the 9,137 authors of peer-reviewed climate change articles rejected anthropogenic global warming. Geochemist James Powell did the research on publications from November 2012 and December 2013. (But if a year-long sample isn’t good enough for you, Powell previously examined 21 years of peer-reviewed literature and found that only 24 out of 13,950 articles — or two-tenths of a percent — came out and rejected human-caused climate change.)

The lone dissident, S. V. Avakyan, wrote in Herald of the Russian Academy of Sciences, “The contribution of the greenhouse effect of carbon-containing gases to global warming turns out to be insignificant.” But Coby Beck smacks this idea down in his “How to talk to a climate skeptic” series. Plus, Avakyan clearly admits his bias on the very first page of his article:

The switch of world powers first to decreasing the use of fossil fuel … may lead to economic collapse for Russia …

1. Doesn't make any difference.....

The other day, I found myself pissing away time I'll never get back going back-and-forth with a denier on a newspaper blog.

They would not be convinced...no matter the evidence.

The anti-scientific, anti-intellectual, and anti-reason folks have won.

I only stopped... came to my senses... when he started writing about evolution being only a theory and "too many missing links".
