You have been given one. All you can do is deny validity. Yet anything in denial of AGW is magically valid to you.
Not true. You have been shown another one . Denying it again or ignoring it, doesn't cange the fact you were given one.

â0.3% climate consensus, not 97.1%â
PRESS RELEASE â September 3rd, 2013
A major peer-reviewed paper by four senior researchers has exposed grave errors in an earlier paper in a new and unknown journal that had claimed a 97.1% scientific consensus that Man had caused at least half the 0.7 Cº global warming since 1950.
A tweet in President Obamaâs name had assumed that the earlier, flawed paper, by John Cook and others, showed 97% endorsement of the notion that climate change is dangerous:
âNinety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous.â [Emphasis added]
The new paper by the leading climatologist Dr David Legates and his colleagues, published in the respected Science and Education journal, now in its 21st year of publication, reveals that Cook had not considered whether scientists and their published papers had said climate change was âdangerousâ.
The consensus Cook considered was the standard definition: that Man had caused most post-1950 warming. Even on this weaker definition the true consensus among published scientific papers is now demonstrated to be not 97.1%, as Cook had claimed, but only 0.3%.
Only 41 out of the 11,944 published climate papers Cook examined explicitly stated that Man caused most of the warming since 1950. Cook himself had flagged just 64 papers as explicitly supporting that consensus, but 23 of the 64 had not in fact supported it.

It is 2013 and you STILL fail to comprehend the difference between a SURVEY and a study of abstracts of papers to infer a position on AGW.
BTW if a paper takes no position on AGW that does not mean they support AGW -- which is what Cook's study of 12,000 papers did.

Abstract.... "an extensive dataset of 1,372 climate researchers and their publication and citation data to show that (i) 97-98% of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field surveyed here support the tenets of ACC [anthropogenic climate change] outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Fisrt you claim ..."There is no other source for this over-hyped figure from global warming promoters."
Then when given one, you try ...."This is NOT a survey."
Just like the .03% claim is false and absurdly so and you don't need to be Einstein to see why, all you are doing is attempting to find controversy where it doesn't exist.
Of course as with anti-evolutionists and no-moon-landing conspiracies , that's what AGW denial is all about .
