QuoteCook and his colleagues collected almost 12,000 contributions from 1991 to 2011. They should be divided into different categories based on what "stance" they take on climate change. Because 12,000 papers mean a lot of reading effort, "citizens" did this in a "citizen science project". Who exactly, how and according to what criteria is not known.
Then they throw those posts in the trash that don't see any human influence. That's around 66 percent of those 12,000 posts. They then divide the randomly remaining 4,014 posts into a pro and con category. You will only find 118 works in the contra category. Makes that famous 97.06 percent.
