Why Climate Deniers Have No Scientific Credibility: Only 1 of 9,136 Recent Peer-Reviewed Authors Rejects Global Warming

This is a guest post byย James Lawrence Powell.

I have brought my previous study (seeย hereย andย here)ย up-to-date by reviewing peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals over the period from Nov. 12, 2012 through December 31, 2013. I found 2,258 articles, written by a total of 9,136 authors. (Download the chart aboveย here.) Only one article, by a single author in theย Herald of the Russian Academy of Sciences, rejected man-made global warming. I discuss that articleย here.

My previous study, of the peer-reviewed literature from 1991 through Nov. 12, 2012, found 13,950 articles on โ€œglobal warmingโ€ or โ€œglobal climate change.โ€ Of those, I judged that only 24 explicitly rejected the theory of man-made global warming. The methodology and details for the original and the new study are describedย here.

Anyone can repeat as much of the new study as they wishโ€“all of it if they like. Download an Excel database of the 2,258 articlesย here. It includes the title, document number, and Web of Science accession number. Scan the titles to identify articles that might reject man-made global warming. Then use theย DOIย or WoS accession number to find and read the abstracts of those articles, and where necessary, the entire article. If you find any candidates that I missed, please email meย here.

The scientific literature since 1991 contains a mountain of evidence confirming man-made global warming as true and no convincing evidence that it is false. Global warming denial is a house ofย cards.
