The Real 97% (97.8%, To be More Precise)
That's the percentage of climate models (88 out of 90) which have overestimated (greatly, in some cases) the amount of atmospheric and surface warming over the past 20 years...............................................................................And as far as that other 97% is concerned, it was based entirely on a couple of very generic questions that even I would have said, yes, to. For example, one of them was, "do you think that human activity influences climate?", and of course the answer is, yes (via CO2 emissions but also through deforestation, urbanization, etc.). But to go from that to saying that human CO2 emissions are the PRIMARY cause of climate change or that a seven tenths of degree Celsius temperature increase over 150 years is something so alarming that the West now has to destroy its economy is absurd and THAT'S where the real disagreement is.
