Why do scientists need to be able to classify organisms with an internationally agreed system?

In the bad old days before Classification was organised the different people were calling the same thing by different names. With the Internationally Recognised Classification System all researchers in that field understand each other and do not repeat unnecessarily

∙ 7y agoA standardized classification system allows for easy communication within the scientific community. It allows different kinds of organisms to be easily identified based on their characteristics. As well, it prohibits some scientists from renaming an already-known organism and creating a new category for it.

Why do you think scientists found it difficult to decide how Pluto should be classified?
because not all scientists agreed with each other so it took alot of research on the planet Pluto
The standard on which the atomic mass unit is based is the mass of a?
Scientists have agreed to say that Carbon 12 weighs 12 a.m.u. exactly. All other nuclides are quoted relative to this.
Why do scientists use SI rather than the system of measurement adopted for use in their own country?
Scientists must be able to reproduce the results of experiments done by others in order to verify each other's conclusions. Using the same units worldwide removes the potential for error in converting between units or confusion between units which have different values in different places (e.g.: English mile, Irish mile, French mile, etc.).
How do we know 97 per cent of climate scientists believe people are contributing to climate change?
An independent study of all the scientists who published literature on climate change was made by William Anderegg in 2010. It found that between 97% and 98% of these scientists agreed with the statement that global warming is being caused by human activity.A survey by Doran in 2009 of 3146 earth scientists found that 97.4% of those who had published on climate change agreed.Scientists need to back up their experiments by publishing the data so that other scientists can check. A survey (by Oreskes in 2004) of all the peer-reviewed abstracts published between 1993 and 2003 found that none of them rejected the consensus (that man is causing global warming).
Why did scientists use Latin names for classifying organisms?
Throughout most of the history of Western science, all scientific literature was written in Latin. Only recently has it been written in spoken languages like English. The use of Latin names has remained so that scientists that speak different languages can understand what they are talking about. Another reason is that many plants and animals have common names that differ by region. Having a Latin name avoids confusion among scientists.

Why is it important you have an agreed way of grouping animals?
In what is called taxonomy, scientists classify animals into 5 or 6 kingdoms, then phylums, then classes, orders, families, genuses and finally species. It is important that every animal falls into a category just so that we can make life simpler. Taxonomy makes things easier to identify and understand.
