Science : According to a paper published yesterday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, only 2% of the world’s top 50 climate researchers are unconvinced that humankind’s emission of greenhouse gases is warming Earth’s climate. To reach that conclusion, the paper’s authors used researchers’ signed statements for or against the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment and Google Scholar to identify and rank active climate researchers. As Eli Kintisch reports in Science, some climate scientists are skeptical of the validity of those selection criteria.
