No, you're making the same mistake that the deniers make. You're
saying that fewer than 1 in 30 scientists are as likely to be right as
the 29 who say they're wrong.

That's irrational. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of
using your head.

You really ought to pay attention to what people actually say and not to what you think they are saying.

The statistics about 97% and 3 % is about opinions. 97 % of the scientists have the opinion ( Not fact ) that global warming constitutes a real threat. Only 3 % are not sure.

I am not saying that the odds are equal. I am saying that I think there is some possibility that the 3 % might be right and that in time we will have a better idea of what the facts are.

I have no idea of where you got the idea that I ever said anything about the odds of who is right. Try to read what I say. Use your head.
