From another source we find----

"Science magazine analyzed 928 peer-reviewed scientific
papers on the subject published between 1993 and 2003. Not
one (zero percent) dissented from the international
scientific consensus that human activity is dramatically
increasing the earth's temperature, in ways that will bring
severe consequences. But because of promotion by
corporations like Exxon/Mobil of a handful of global warming
deniers, 57 percent of the news stories during the same
period presented the issue as if there were a serious
scientific debate. Energy industries admitted their strategy
to "reposition global warming as a debate." In other words,
our mainstream medias lied to us."



And to show how GWs mangle the truth:

More recently, a study in the journal Science by the social
scientist Nancy Oreskes claimed that a search of the ISI Web
of Knowledge Database for the years 1993 to 2003 under the key
words "global climate change" produced 928 articles, all of
whose abstracts supported what she referred to as the
consensus view. A British social scientist, Benny Peiser,
checked her procedure and found that only 913 of the 928
articles had abstracts at all, and that only 13 of the
remaining 913 explicitly endorsed the so-called consensus
view. Several actually opposed it.

Well a different procedure will get you different results. Someone
check Benny's. Chances are that you'll find big differences.
