Then you agree that the study cannot be used to say that 97% of CLIMATE SCIENTISTS agree with the consensus.
My point being that citing that study as justification for opinions is disingenuous.

97% of climate scientists publishing papers on global warming agree with the consensus.

Not that much. It's extremely likely, in fact almost certain, that the 97% carries over pretty closely to opinions as a whole.

And look here, there are surveys asking questions more similar to yours, and sure enough the level of response is the same.

Every which way you slice the data---the fundamental message is the same.
The intent of the misleading criticism is to engender false doubt in the public's mind that there is a substantial and deep well of scientists who believe the data shows that humans do not bear primary responsibility for recent global warming and will not cause significant future warming. It is false.

Honestly, I confuse you and FriedBabelBroccoli with each other a lot. Sometimes I think you might be the same person (don't care either way). At some point in these threads, I lose interest in continuing arguing and don't keep up with the thread and miss posts.
I never saw that you were posting to me but saw the discussion you and Greven were having about that study. I found the thread obviously, I don't know what you're stuck on about that study, Greven answered you quite satisfactorily and he's much more educated on this topic than I am so I don't know why that's not enough for you or why we can't continue discussing it on that thread.
But as usual this subject never stays on topic anyway so:
So the Northern to Equatorial Pacific was warmer than now. Cool. It's good info but I don't really understand why it causes the authors to jump to the conclusion that it indicates the MWP and the LIA were global events. Land temperatures did not warm/cool globally, only in a small portion of land mass

The MWP included the pacific ocean and antartic ocean - that makes it global
There were no globally synchronous multi-decadal warm or cold intervals that define a worldwide Medieval Warm Period or Little Ice Age, but all reconstructions show generally cold conditions between ad 1580 and 1880, punctuated in some regions by warm decades during the eighteenth century.
The transition to these colder conditions occurred earlier in the Arctic, Europe and Asia than in North America or the Southern Hemisphere regions.
Recent warming reversed the long-term cooling; during the period ad 1971–2000, the area-weighted average reconstructed temperature was higher than any other time in nearly 1,400 years.
Observed increases in ocean heat content (OHC) and temperature are robust indicators of global warming during the past several decades. We used high-resolution proxy records from sediment cores to extend these observations in the Pacific 10,000 years beyond the instrumental record. We show that water masses linked to North Pacific and Antarctic intermediate waters were warmer by 2.1 ± 0.4°C and 1.5 ± 0.4°C, respectively, during the middle Holocene Thermal Maximum than over the past century. Both water masses were ~0.9°C warmer during the Medieval Warm period than during the Little Ice Age and ~0.65° warmer than in recent decades. Although documented changes in global surface temperatures during the Holocene and Common era are relatively small, the concomitant changes in OHC are large.
It is not to engender false doubt . . .
It is pointing out how radicalised people are, so much so that they can not even comprehend the difference between studies and personal opinions.

And since the difference between coding studies vs coding opinions is insignificant among climate scientists?
