Flawed methodology, too.
Cook first excluded a third of climate papers because they did not make an assertion about AGW. Those scientists were not surveyed.
Of the 66% invited to answer, only 34% self-selected by responding, and it is no surprise that this did not include many scientists who do not find a causal link proven between human activity and discernible effects on global warming.
The paper proves his assertion for the data set of self selected scientists, not all scientists, but try finding this in the headline, in vain.

Agreed. And are we going to start using localized alphabets for hexadecimal representation of machine code?
