Another perspective on those 900 papers:
Quote:
...a preliminary data analysis by the Carbon Brief has revealed that nine of the ten most prolific authors cited have links to organizations funded by ExxonMobil, and the tenth has co-authored several papers with Exxon-linked contributors.

Once you crunch the numbers, however, you find a good proportion of this new list is made up of a small network of individuals who co-author papers and share funding ties to the oil industry.

Analysing the ‘900 papers supporting climate scepticism’: 9 out of top 10 authors linked to ExxonMobil

***

However, our analysis also shows that many of the papers do not focus on human-induced climate change - and so have little relevance to the theme of the list.

Furthermore, some of the authors featured on the list surprised us, so we contacted a selection to see whether they supported this interpretation of their work - the responses confirmed their work is being misappropriated by inclusion in lists such as this.

“Using our paper to support skepticism of anthropogenic global warming is misleading.”
Much like Climategate which turned out to be all hot air and no substance.

And much like the Global Warming Petition Project of several years ago which claimed to have 500 scientists signing their petition denying global warming, but many didnt even know their name was on the list and others were just outright bogus.
