Yep, that's his entire game. The troll can never argue substantively or bring facts to the table...when push comes to shove he always reverts to "smart people think like me; dumb people think like you."

No doubt fratfraud would have been the perfect little brainwashed Nazi.
Coming from the person who didn't know there was a survey, then said they didn't reference the survey, now is trying to describe the survey to me, lol. The comedy just never ends with you. But it's fun. I should be working to fill up your EBT card for the week, but this is just too much entertainment watching you crumble like this, lol.
Not misquoting it at all. It is actually very simple.
Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities,1and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources.
Solar Activity, Solar Cycle Predictions, and Sunspots
Here at the Almanac, we believe that solar science, the study of sunspots and other solar activity, can influence weather here on Earth. In this article, we explain the basics of solar activity, solar cycles, and what's up with the Sun now.
What Is Solar Activity?
The Sun is always active. It has weather. It has storms. And its storms can affect Earth's weather.

What is a Solar Cycle?
The number of sunspots increase and decrease over time in a regular, approximately 11-year cycle, called the solar or sunspot cycle. The exact length of the cycle can vary. More sunspots mean increased solar activity—flares and CMEs. The highest number of sun spots in any given cycle is designated "solar maximum," while the lowest number is designated "solar minimum."

How Does Solar Activity Affect Weather and Earth?
Solar activity affects the Earth in many ways, some which we are still coming to understand.
Conversely, times of increased solar activity have corresponded with global warning. During the 12th and 13th centuries, the Sun was active, and the European climate was quite mild.

Solar Cycle 24
The Sun is currently in an active phase of its 11-year solar cycle. The current cycle, called Solar Cycle 24, began in 2008. Here's some history of this cycle:

- Sunspots are magnetic storms on the surface of the Sun.
- Solar flares are intense blooms of radiation that come from the release of the magnetic energy associated with sunspots. The NOAA ranks solar flares using five categories from weakest to stongest: A, B, C, M, and X. Each category is 10 times stronger than the one before it. Within each category, a flare is ranked from 1 to 9, according to strength, although X-class flares can go higher than 9. According to NASA, the most powerful solar flare recorded was an X28 (in 2003).
- Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are bursts of solar material (clouds of plasma and magnetic fields) that shoot off the sun's surface. Other solar events include solar wind streams that come from the coronal holes on the Sun and solar energetic particles that are primarily released by CMEs.

Solar activity affects the Earth in many ways, some which we are still coming to understand.
- Damage to 21st-century satellites and other high-tech systems in space can be caused by an active Sun which generates geomagnetic storms.
Even in inactive solar cycles, the Sun emits large solar flares—which could cause billions of dollars in damage to the world's high-tech infrastructure—from GPS navigation to power grids to air travel to financial services. - Radiation hazards for astronauts and satellites can be caused by a quiet Sun. Weak solar winds allow more galactic cosmic rays into the inner solar system.
- Weather on Earth can also be affected. According to Bob Berman, astronomer for The Old Farmer's Almanac: Recently, NOAA scientists concluded that four factors determined global temperatures: carbon dioxide levels, volcanic eruptions, Pacific El Niño pattern, and the Sun's activity.
- Global climate change including long-term periods of global cold, rainfall, drought, and other weather shifts may also be influenced by solar cycle activity, based on historical evidence:

Solar Cycle 24
The Sun is currently in an active phase of its 11-year solar cycle. The current cycle, called Solar Cycle 24, began in 2008. Here's some history of this cycle:
- Solar Minimum: According to NOAA and NASA, the sunspot cycle hit an unusually deep bottom from 2007 to 2009. In fact, in 2008 and 2009, there were almost NO sunspots, a very unusual situation that had not happened for almost a century. Due to the weak solar activity, galactic cosmic rays were at record levels.
- Solar Maximum: The Sun's record-breaking sleep ended in 2010. In 2011, sunspot counts jumped up. However, they remained fairly low with a small peak in February of 2012. Throughout 2013, the Sun was relatively quiet.
As of August 2013, NASA reported, "The sun's global magnetic field is about to reverse polarity. This is a sign that Solar Max has arrived . . . " Yet, the the sunspot number was only 70 at this point; this may be the lowest peak since 1906 (which hit 64 sunspots). To get lower, you would need to go back in time to cycles 5 and 6 during the Dalton minimum in 1800s when sunspots counted around 50. Before that was the Maunder minimum from 1645 to 1715 when sunspots werer close to zero for about 75 years.
- 2014 Update: The Sun seems to be heating up. The New Year started out with a burst of solar activity from active sunspots, leading to beautiful aurora borealis. As of January 10, the sunspot number was 138. Stay tuned! We will update this sunspot page seasonally to report on the progress of Solar Cycle 24.
- Some theorists believe that there is a correlation between Earth's temperatures and both the level of solar activity and the length of the solar cycle. The low solar activity levels and the delayed start to the solar cycle indicate that we're in a cooling phase. It's possible that the delayed start means a delayed end.
- It is expected that Solar Cycle 24 and Solar Cycle 25 will be relatively quiet-to-average cycles, leading to a cooling pattern over the next few decades.
- Temperatures have been colder than it would have been otherwise. Sunspots are similar to a bathtub of lukewarm water; if you trickle in cold or hot water, it may take a while to notice the difference. If this cooling phase on Earth is offset by any warming caused by increasing greenhouse gases, they also raise the question of whether an eventual warming cycle could lead to more rapid warming on Earth than expected.
Lol, fine. You caught me. 5% were climatologists, 8.5% were individuals who indicated that more than 50% of their publications were climate related. Of those climatologists who indicated more than 50% of their publications were climate related, 97% agreed that global warming was man made, lol.
Dang, can't get much worse for you. But, that's why you agree with people like Sheriff Joe and festeringZit and I'm on the side of scientists.
You can try to post whatever you want. It does not change this fact...
