Many of us have heard the assertion that 97 percent of scientists agree that climate change or anthropogenic global warming (AGW) is being caused by emissions of greenhouse gasses that result from our modern lifestyle. Since some have questioned the validity of that statistic, this article seeks to understand where the 97 percent figure comes from. Back in April 2013, an article was published in the journal Environmental Research Letters by John Cook, et. al. that claimed that "Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming." This finding came from a meta-analysis of 11,944 climate abstracts from 1991–2011.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/cartoons_thumbnails_thumb_cartoon-climatologists_colluding.jpg
