390 Peer-Reviewed Papers Supporting Skepticism of "Man-Made" Global Warming

It doesn't work that way as most papers don't explicitly support AGW. Of Oreskes 1117 abstracts using the search phrase "Global Climate Change" which ignores some 11,000 papers only 13 (1%) explicitly endorse the 'consensus view' on AGW.
Very few biology papers "explicitly endorse" evolution, and for the same reason.

The 97% you are referring to is 76 out or 79 scientists in a survey where 7054 scientists did not reply.
Do you have any reason to think this sample was not representative? If anything I would expect AGW doubters to be more likely to reply than those who accept the consensus, in order to ensure that their minority view was well represented.

There is a difference between "Climate Change" and AGW just like evolution vs creationism. I fully support evolution so we can move past this strawman.

Of course, you are implying that the phrase "Global Climate Change" is common in the debate, it is not. She clearly left out 11,000 papers so she could make the claim that no peer-reviewed paper exists disputing AGW. My list disputes this lie.

No it is subjective. I have proven that fraudulent science can be published in Nature. You have no point.

Yes you have proven fraudulent science can be published by nature. You have not proven that it gets published more often in science over other journals.
You also have proven that fraudulent science can be discovered by the peer-review process if published in nature.
You have not proven that other Journals have a better track record at doing the same.

Over a hundred years and back to back to back top notch editorial staff have given the reputation to nature. You have done nothing to discredit that reputation. If anything you have strengthened it by showing how fraudulent science IS found out.

Which is not Nature's peer review process nor being published in their journal. It is shown how science has always been determined, reproducible results. So your subjective attachment to the journal nature is irrelevant.

Negative, the same scientific determination is applied for National geographic, however lacking the peer review process that Journals have it's track record for correcting mistakes is lower.

So it is observable that some publications are more reliable than others when it comes to scientific scrutiny. Now, Nature has one of if not THE best reputation. You have to show the reputation is not deserved. This is not proving a negative. Like I said before, Nature has a track record to back up it's reputation. You have done nothing to tarnish that track record.
 
There is a difference between "Climate Change" and AGW. As opposed to evolution vs creationism. I fully support evolution so we can move past this strawman.
It's an analogy, not a strawman. Papers often assume accepted science, they rarely explicitly endorse it. Nothing was implied about your belief in evolution by my use of this analogy. Pretending there was such an implication, so you can refute that rather than the point I was making - that's a strawman. See the difference?

This reply has nothing whatever to do with the quote from my post that precedes it. My question was about your reaction to the survey that showed that 97% of active climatologists accept AGW. You can tell by the looking at the quote from your post that precedes it.

That is a strawman argument as you are comparing peer-reviewed publications to non peer-reviewed ones. "Reputation" is subjective. Nature tarnished itself by publishing fraudulent science. I had nothing to do with it.

It has been established that reputation is decided by the scientific community for over a hunder and fifty years. This is not subjective.
However if you believe the scientific consensus has no (or should have no) bearing on the prestige of a journal then we have reach a point where we must just disagree.
 
That can be said about any paper, if popularity now determines what is science.
That's a great non-answer. A paper's impact has nothing to do with popularity but by its IMPACT. If it is cited by bloggers and nobodies, it has no impact. If it is published in the nothing journal, it has no impact.

So who has found an actual use for your paper? Do tell.

The analogy using evolution is when it is brought into an AGW discussion (which is frequently). No I don't see the difference as it is far too common an occurrence in these discussions, sorry. Regardless my point still stands as "Climate Change" and AGW are two different things. A paper talking about "climate change" in not way means it is in endorsement of AGW unless explicitly stated.

"Impact" is subjective and not a scientific criteria.

I must go with pax on this one. Impact is NOT subjective.
I think that is what I have been trying to argue with you for the last ten post's or so.

After being awake for over 62 hours and counting, and drinking for 48 or so of those, I am amazed I can put a sentence together.
So I am willing to except responsibility for not forming my arguments better.

Anxiety disorder is getting really bad paximperium, zanax don't work... alcohol don't work... I don't know what else to try too bring me down. [sorry for getting off topic guys, just thought pax would have a suggestion]

Yeah to you everything seem to be "subjective" when you have no answer to it.
1)Reputation of journals are "subjective" even when a just about all scientists in a field read it.
2)A Paper's impact is "subjective" even if no one reads it.

But basically your papers are found in nobody articles that nobody reads except for a "selective" audience that has no impact on the actual science being done.
 
It has been established that reputation is decided by the scientific community for over a hunder and fifty years. This is not subjective.
Of course it is subjective as it is merely people's opinion.

However if you believe the scientific consensus has no (or should have no) bearing on the prestige of a journal then we have reach a point where we must just disagree.
No I believe "prestige" has no bearing on science.

Sorry man. Some of the other meds like Buspar or the SSRIs don't work quickly and if the Xanax is not working, I wouldn't recommend any others until you talk to your Doc.

You could try some calming exercises or just do something you like to take your mind off the anxiety but I think that arguing with some ideologue is not the thing to do.

No only things that are subjective are subjective.

1)Reputation of journals are "subjective" even when a just about all scientists in a field read it.
Reputation is always subjective and there is no evidence "all" scientists read it.

2)A Paper's impact is "subjective" even if no one reads it.
A papers impact is always subjective as it is merely the popularity of a paper determined by other's opinions.

But basically your papers are found in nobody articles that nobody reads except for a "selective" audience that has no impact on the actual science being done.
Actually that is not true and that papers have had a significant "impact" on the actual science, since most of them have to do with other scientists not actually doing the science.
 
May I point out, that "after the fact" through neat little things called "applications" it is NO LONGER SUBJECTIVE!
I think that is what I am trying to get across here.

Nature has earned it's rep from past performance. A.K.A "Track record." Surely you don't think a track record is "subjective"

But it IS calming to me. I don't know why sometimes.....
