"Yes, this one pie chart exposes the great science-deniers hoax. The first version of the chart came in 2012 based on research by geologist James Powell on DeSmogBlog, updated last year. Powell is a science author whose works include “The Inquisition of Climate Science.” A former college and museum president, Powell was a member of the National Science Board for 12 years, appointed by President Reagan and George H. W. Bush. Powell is the executive director of the National Physical Science Consortium.

Powell’s pie chart reveals why climate-science deniers have zero credibility in attacking the United Nation’s International Panel on Climate Change, the UN-IPCC’s 2,500 member scientists, or the IPCC’s five assessment reports published since 1988. Science deniers were especially upset with the scientific consensus in the fifth assessment report: that “97% of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities.”

Yes, “the gold standard of science is the peer-reviewed literature,” says Powell. “If there is disagreement among scientists, based not on opinion but on hard evidence, it will be found in the peer-reviewed literature,” where theories, research, conclusions and opinions can be openly challenged. Climate-science deniers avoid such exposure."
