Joe Duarte: “On Cook’s “97%” fraud” | Tom Nelson Pod #309

First-gen American of Mexican descent. PhD in Social Psychology. Reason, truth, Rostand, marksmanship, and Kate McKinnon. I stand with – and in – the rain. The discussion between Tom and Joe Duarte centers around Joe's criticism of the widely cited statistic that 97% of scientists agree on human-caused global warming. Joe argues that the study supporting this claim was fundamentally flawed and fraudulent, relying on a methodologically unsound review of abstracts by biased, non-expert individuals. He emphasizes the widespread dissemination and acceptance of this flawed study as evidence of institutional failure in academia and the media. 00:00 Introduction to Joe Duarte and Climate Consensus 00:25 The Politicization of Science 02:39 The 97% Climate Consensus Claim 06:03 Flaws in the Consensus Methodology 09:41 Irrelevant Papers in the Consensus 17:22 Systematic Failures and Misinterpretations 27:31 Critique of Paper Counting Methods 28:12 Attempts to Retract the Paper 29:15 Daniel Camon's Political Bias 30:33 The Impeach Letter Incident 32:48 Inappropriate Journal for Consensus Study 35:26 Possibility of Retraction 41:34 Scientific Fraud Allegations 48:55 Impact on Academic Integrity 53:20 Closing Remarks and Resources https://x.com/ValidScience https://validscience.substack.com/ ======== AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
