It would be better if you cited a reputable review that disputed it.

But sure, 99% is probably not accurate. It could be 98.6% or 99.2% or 97.1% but it almost certainly is not exactly 99%. From a quick review of what google wanted to tell me tonight, I couldn't find anything in the last five years that found less than 97% and even results back to 2014 seemed to agree with >90%.

But you can show a different result?

The article argues that there is a record high coverage - I did not dispute that.

I wrote that quality matters too - the article did not address that.

The last page of the article, the list of "climate change is bogus" articles, was quite enlightening. Not exactly an unbiased scientific organization.

Stick with weather - your climatologist chops are lacking and your marine biologist "expertise" seems to be worse.

I spent the last two weeks traveling around Iceland. Yes, the climate is changing.

Man caused? Doubtful.

We had a mini ice age 500 years. At one time, not long ago, Iceland was completely under glacial ice. That ice has been receding long before man stepped foot in Iceland and even Europe. Fossil remains also show teaches of warm weather plants and animals from thousands and millions of years ago.

Sometimes climate change is influenced by plate tectonics. Other times by astronomical events. Sometimes by volcanic action. None of those can be stopped by human activity.

Best we can do is adapt. Darwin told us that it's survival of the fittest!

Talk about laying on the scare factor.

UK Met office has just issued "Excessive heat warnings" for many parts of UK.
Temps of 80f+ are forecast.
Many elderly will be at risk!

Forecasters earlier this week predicted that a "pulse of heat" would ravage Britain with some predicting temperatures could reach a maximum of 30C. (86f)

Can't wait for winter if temp. drops below freezing! :ohdear:

I just plotted temps from 1895 - 2022....contrary to what everyone wants you to believe...we are not boiling

Plotted July temps 1895 to 2022
Plotted Avg Annual Temp 1895 - 2022

looking at the standard deviation it is not significant

Temperature - Florida Climate Center
