We have no idea how many agree.

A:The AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) boasts about ten million members internationally, including 262 societies and academies of science. That is huge, and probably larger than the number of scientists world wide. A better estimate for the number of scientists and researchers would probably in the neighborhood of 6 million.

Not all of them accept the general consensus of anthropogenic global warming. To estimate that number, we would need a representative poll of scientists, of whom probably fewer than 2000 lay claim to recent specific work in climate science. A survey nearly ten years old indicated 97% out of 1372 climate scientists who responded accepted the consensus, which tallies to 1330 people.

But of scientists in general, the percent would be lower. Many of them would not be aware of specific research, or even all that interested in results far outside their field of expertise. Nevertheless, a poll of general scientists revealed about 80% concurred with the consensus, suggesting the total number of scientists who accept global warming would be approximately 4.6 million.

A:Most scientists and their organizations around the world believe that global warming is happening and it is being caused by human actions,
  1. burning fossil fuels and
  2. cutting down forests.

Scientific Organizations that accept the broad scientific consensus that global warming is happening include:

  • NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York
  • American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
  • National Research Council
  • American Institute of Physics
  • European Academy of Sciences and Arts
  • European Science Foundation
  • The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC)
  • American Geophysical Union
  • US National Academy of Science
  • American Meteorological Association
  • American Medical Association
  • American Astronomical Society
  • Joint Science Academies
  • American Meteorological Society
  • Network of African Science Academies
  • International Union for Quaternary Research
  • Australian Coral Reef Society.

Why do people have to think that global warming is real?

People are free to choose whether to believe that global warming is real, and no one says that they must believe the scientific evidence for global warming. However, those who wish to be informed would note that there is a strong scientific consensus that this is the case. Also, people who accept the reality that global warming is happening are the people who will be able to provide the leadership needed to solve the problem.


Is it true that some people believe global warming is good for the planet?

Yes, some people believe that global warming may have positive effects on the planet, such as longer growing seasons and increased agricultural productivity. However, the majority of scientists and experts agree that the negative impacts of global warming, such as rising sea levels and extreme weather events, far outweigh any potential benefits.


What are misconceptions about global warming?

Global warming is not important.Global warming isn't happening.Global warming is happening but it's not our fault.Global warming is happening but we can't do anything about it.Scientists are not sure about global warming.


What percentage of Democrats are into global warming?

The concept of Global Warming being real or not is hardly a party issue. The concept has moved away from the science and moved into a very political arena. Both sides take a similar view on Global Warming. They ignore the science and claim that the debate is over. It almost seems like the Democrat party's stand on global warming is that global warming is caused by Republicans. If you want it colder vote for Democrats. If you want it warmer vote for Republicans. This, of course, is not their official position.


Why do people think that global warming is good?

Some people imagine that global warming simply means slightly warmer winters and milder summers, overlooking the fact that if average temperatures rise around the globe, some areas will experience much higher temperatures, but other areas may even become colder. Some people imagine that global warming means higher food production will be possible, ignoring the fact that more prolonged droughts will reduce the food production in some areas, as will more frequent severe floods in other areas. People who think that global warming is good look to what they imagine to be the advantages of global warming, but overlook, or are unaware of, the harm that it can cause.

There is a point in humanity that we are in right now. we need to stop global warming, we are now in the point where we can't undo global warming, only stop it from getting worse. We need to.


Why do some people think that global warming has nothing to do with human activities?

I believe that some people misunderstand the science and this misunderstanding leads them to believe that trained research scientists must be wrong in their conclusions. In other cases, I believe that some people simply do not want to know that global warming is caused by human activities. Imagine for example someone who thinks that his job could be at risk if we try to prevent any further global warming: such a person would very probably deny the reality of global warming.
