There are those who claim that global warming is not happening (that the whole thing is a myth) and others who acknowledge that it is occurring, but has nothing to do with human activity. Both these falshhoods are promoted by the denial industry, mostly on the internet, funded by the fossil fuel industry and the big polluters. Global warming is no myth, and the 400 climate scientists of the IPCC are almost totally unanimous on it, differing only on its finer points. In fact, it is proceeding faster than any of them (or the computer models) have predicted.The most stark example is the rate at which the northern ice sheet and the world's glaciers are disappearing. The average global temperature has increased by 0.8`C since the industrial revolution, and to many people this does not seem significant. When you consider that the average global temperature is only about 7`C, that increase is VERY significant.

Which myth do scientists think contributes to global warming the most?

The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is the primary contributor to global warming. When these fuels are burned, they release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which trap heat and contribute to the planet's rising temperatures.
