One science reporter said something really that rang true. If you get three scientists in a room observing 1 thing they will give you three different observations. For 600+ of the leading scientists in their field from over 113 countries to reach such certain agreement on the issue is huge.
Not really. Not taking any position right now on the issue itself, but that logic is ridiculous. If you simply invite 5.3 scientists from each country who already believe in the statement at hand and have them draft the report, you'll get those numbers. It's meaningless in that context.
I'm sure that if someone stated that 600 of the leading multinational CEO's all agreed that lower pay for workers was better for everyone, somehow meant that this must be a huge deal and we should all take what they say seriously, you'd be jumping all over the huge gaping flaw...
