Here's one Purple Team player's take on these numbers.

The largest endorsement group was categorized as “implicitly endorses AGW without minimizing it.” They provided this example of an implied endorsement:

…carbon sequestration in soil is important for mitigating global climate change.
That should never be enough to put an abstract into the largest sector of the 97%, the yellow piece above? It implicitly mentions climate change but not anthropomorphic, and is a pretty weak endorsement. This is supposed to be Cook J's example?

I haven't looked into that much further. Of course Mr. Purple is a player and he wants to play the game too.
