I believe it was in the early 1970's as the deepfreeze that the world had been in since 1948 began to go away. Of course, if cold goes away, you are left with . . . YES! warmer weather!
The early scientists, Mann et al, performed experiments and made conclusions about the climate. Most people do not realize that when other scientists tried to duplicate Mann's work, they could not, and accused him of making too many conclusions that were not based on hard evidence.
This did not stop Al Gore, though. He made an issue of it, as politicians often do, probably to 1) Take people's minds off the bad deeds of his party, and 2) Getting more votes from environmentalists.
Once the climate change issue started rolling, scientists soon found out that they could get rich on grant money given out to study climate change. When some 31,000 scientists signed a document in Oregon a few years ago, saying that they did not think warming was a real issue: a hoax, if you will, the liberal thinkers completely blew it off as meaningless.
Yet, when 52 scientists had previously testified to the United Nations that global warming was a real phenomenon, the liberals took this as proof.
So, that would be 52 Yes votes, and 31,000 No votes. The Yesses won. ???
There are many fears of scientists who write about global warming. Ozone depletion, floods, warming etc are some of them.
Scientists are worried about global warming because not only will it affect people but it will affect everything on the earth. They know that the rate of global warming is increasing, and that this will inevitably have serious consequences for the environment and our economies. Their concern is for science to be taken seriously by politicians and business leaders, so that solutions can be put in place in time to avoid catastrophic effects.
Not many. Most (97% of) climate scientists agree that the earth is warming and that humans are causing global warming by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests.
Scientists as a group do not take measures to prevent global warming other than those taken by individuals.
Not at all. By giving space to the opposing side, that variously claims that global warming is not happening, is happening but is not a problem, or is happening and is a problem but we have no power to stop it, the news media is unintentionally playing down the problem of global warming. This is a concern for scientists, who say global warming is real but can be stopped if we take decisive action before it is too late.

Most scientists and scientific organizations round the world agree that global warming is happening. A few scientists disagree.

Because it is GLOBAL, not local warming.
Many scientists hypothesize that deforestation intensifies global warming trends.
The work of 15 climate scientists is helping to educate the public about the overwhelming scientific evidence for human-caused global warming.

Global warming is no longer a theory, as it is accepted as fact by the vast majority of climate scientists.

yes
No. Mankind is. Scientists estimate nature may be responsible for 2% of the measured global warming.
