CSIRO Scientists 99.999% Sure Warming Caused By Humans

[icyfroth]

A CSIRO report has declared the chances of global warming being the result of human industry as 99.999 percent likely.

The paper published yesterday in the Climate Risk Management journal noted December 2013 was the 346th consecutive month where global land and ocean temperatures exceeded the monthly average of the 20th century.

In other words, not since February 1985 have global conditions been below the average mark.

The likelihood of such an occurrence without human contribution is less than one in 100,000, the report said.

99.999% consensus on any subject that is so variable and so complex ?

I would venture to say that 99.999 % is just as fictitiously as the 97% that gets thrown into that topic.

If you have ever been on a committee or had debate on ant subject you would realize the 99.999% consensus is utter B/S

are you new here?

Whoever thought up that figure?

To have a 99.999% the least number in the sample would be 10,000 and yet the C.S.I.R.O does not even have that many researches

Ooopsie, correction the sample woulh have tp be 100,000.:)

You have missed the point, it is not 99.999% of CSIRO employees.  It is the % of a doubt = 0.001 % about it. 

It is like if you ask me what do I think the weather is going to be here in Melbourne this afternoon; well, by looking I am quite sure it is going to be nice and sunny, but I am not 100%, so I could say that by all the indications I am 99% sure I will have no excuse not to trim the hedge in the front.

They are 99.99% sure they have to agree with the IPCC.....

[poddster]

99.999%? how is it possible to get that degree of accuracy? What number were samples ? 1@99.999% Expressing that degree of accuracy without any supporting figures is sheer lunacy and I guess the C.S.I.R.O. are well versed in that subject, lunacy that is m:)

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

There is only one climatologist who works for the CSIRO..... and he is not 100% sure warming is caused by humans...

Seriously, if there is more than one, I would love to know who they are.

[poddster]

I wonder, does he peer review his own opinion ?

[siggie-reported-by-alarmists]

Interestingly enough, follow the link to the full article, and there is no mention of 99.99% anything, or our one climatologist.

However, they do mention they have referenced the nutty James Hansen and multiple IPCC reports..... sigh......lapdogs....
