I was part of a team that conducted a third, independent quantification of consensus. We identified climate papers stating a position on human-caused global warming, and found that 97.1 per cent of them endorsed the consensus. We replicated our result by asking the scientists who authored the climate papers to rate their own research. That independent approach found 97.2 per cent consensus.

This independent replication makes the science on human-caused climate change so robust. That’s why you rarely see critics of the 97 per cent consensus mention the fact that three separate studies independently found the same result. It’s why you never see critics of our 97 per cent study mention the fact that the papers’ authors independently replicated the 97 per cent consensus.
