Global Warming: What percentage of scientist believe in global warming?

Question

Its been said there are a large number of scientist that say global warming is a natural planetary occurance and yet others claim man is causing it. Someone was citing stats on this a few months back but I can't find them. Is it 70/30 or 50/50 or what percentage believe man causes global warming and what percentage doesn't? Can you provide a link?

Answer 1

If you know any scientists personally... they will pretty much tell you that it's a majority...not everyone, but there are all kind of crazy ideas in the outer realms of science that are minority beliefs...

but, just because a majority of the scientists think that it's true, doesn't mean that it is... it just means that all the current evidence points in one direction... that is one thing science proves over and over again...

Answer 2

Since 2001, not a single scientist has published anything disagreeing with the fact that the Earth is getting warmer.

However, there are still a very small minority of scientists who disagree with the community. Some of their views are catalogued here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientists_opposing_global_warming_consensus

One thing to keep in mind is who is funding their research. In some cases, it is believed that some of the scientists are funded by oil and coal companies, so their views can be skewed.

The best I can find is "a vast majority of scientists" and the words "small minority" come up. I assume no official survey of climatologists has been taken.

Based on the numbers and the few scientists I could find who disagree, I would think it's safe to assume 90 / 10 at this point (if not even higher).

Answer 3

end merely searching at us of a. ninety 5% of climatologists international say that climate replace is guy-made. Why could a Russian, Norwegian or Swiss climatologist help all help an same hoax? What income would all governments international get out of it? that would contain governments like Germany (between the leaders in eco-friendly technologies) and Brazil (correct rainforest logging us of a)

Answer 4

66 % of scientists in 1996 believed global warming was largely human induced. so there you have it that was in m1996 a decade ago . there is no telling how many believe that it is human induced now you moron.

Answer 5

Answer 6

100%, Some may say they don't believe but they are probably paid to say that.

I love the Al Gore guy above me

Answer 7

I've always preferred my science to come from scientists not from celebrities and politicians.
