Did you ever wonder as to the source of the "97% of scientists" claim about 'climate change'?

Dr. John Robson investigates the unsound origins and fundamental inaccuracy, even dishonesty, of the claim that 97% of scientists, or "the world's scientists", or something agree that climate change is man-made, urgent and dangerous.
Here's the weird, irrational "math" of the 97% claim: 75 of 77...of 3146.
Rather than 97% (75/77), the correct calculation is 75/10000, or 0.75%. Self-declared 'climate experts' creates a very small, non-representative, highly biased sample and there is no effort to identify the number of 'climate experts' among the 6,854 non-respondents, nor is there proof of 'expertise' among the 77. Non-response and self-identification bias makes these claims worth than worthless; they are grossly dishonest.
