The 97 Percent: Watch John Oliver’s Hilarious ‘Statistically Representative Climate Change Debate’

Some 97 out of 100 actively publishing climate scientists agree with the overwhelming evidence that humans are causing global warming.

The challenge for the media is how to accurately reflect that consensus.  One way NOT to do it is to give equal time to climate science  deniers. Unsurprisingly (yet tragically), that is the preferred strategy of most of the MSM.  False balance lives at CNN, Reuters, Bloomberg, and even PBS.

Only one cable news show has been brave enough to take on false balance with a “statistically representative climate change debate.”  Unfortunately, it’s a fake news show, John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight,” on HBO.
