    Honestly, my first thought at this title was “only 97%?” I kindof wonder what’s up with the other 3%. Maybe just weird outliers. Kindof like Michael Behe who is actually a bona fide biochemist but he also advocates for intelligent design.

      The other 3% probably aren’t all climate change deniers.

      I would guess that a large chunk of those are more like ‘the data is not sufficient or good enough to be absolutely, absolutely certain’.
