Scientists Discover There are 2.64 Trillion More Trees on Earth, Washington Post Whines About Deforestation
Mooney quoted Thomas Crowther, one of the study’s authors, who said, “We can now say that there’s less trees than at any point in human civilization.” Crowther is a postdoctoral researcher at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. – See more at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/business/alatheia-larsen/2015/09/03/scientists-discover-there-are-264-trillion-more-trees#sthash.pnABgsDQ.dpuf…
‘It’s All Wrong’: UN IPCC Lead Author Dr. Richard Tol slams media for false claims about alleged 97% consensus
Climate Depot Exclusive
Convening UN IPCC Lead Author Dr. Richard Tol, a Professor at the University of Sussex, has been in a back and forth battle with the global warming promoting website Politifact. Tol is demanding corrections to their articles claiming that GOP Presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s debunking of the alleged 97% consensus was “false.”
Tol’s full email exchanges with the Politifact website are published in full with permission from Tol further down below.
Climate Depot publisher Marc Morano sent the below email to Politifact explaining the error of their ways on the 97% consensus.

Subject: You need to correct your Santorum ‘false’ claim on 97% consensus!

Hi Linda,
I run the Climate Depot and will have a new theatrical climate documentary coming out this fall (Climate Hustle www.ClimateHustle.com)
I watched Santorum on Bill Maher’s HBO show and then I read your ‘false’ review of his claims.
1) First off, Santorum accurately claimed that one of the studies claiming 97% did in fact rely on only 75 scientists!
See: The 97% “Consensus” is only 75 Self-Selected Climatologists – http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2010/08/97-consensus-is-only-76-self-selected.html
&
http://tigger.uic.edu/~pdoran/012009_Doran_final.pdf – The 97% consensus is 75 out of 77.
In other words, according to this study, the 97% consensus was not even 97 scientists!
Do your homework! Santorum correctly cited this study.
2) Second, Santorum accurately referred to UN IPCC Lead Author Dr. Richard Tol. Santorum said: “The 97 percent figure that’s thrown around, the head of the IPCC said that number was pulled out of thin air.”
That is exactly what Dr. Tol told the U.S. Congress in testimony in 2014. See: UN IPCC Lead Author Dr. Richard Tol Rips 97% consensus claim: ‘The 97% is essentially pulled from thin air, it is not based on any credible research whatsoever’
Tol’s research http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/2/024024 found that only 64 papers (out of about 12,000) supported the alleged “consensus.” Somehow the author John Cook makes 64 papers into a 97% ‘consensus’ out of 12,000.
So Santorum was correct again, accurately cited Tol’s comment. (Yes, You can ding Santorum for mixing up Dr. Tol’s position as “the head of IPCC”. But Tol is a UN IPCC Lead Author.)
3) Thirdly, You take Santorum to task for citing the survey of 1800 international scientists. But Santorum accurately cited the study
