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 do scientists think that climate is changing?

Scientists can measure that the global temperature is rising. They know that rising temperatures will change the climate. Weather happens from day to day, but climate change takes longer, several years, or several decades before it becomes clear that it is happening. That is the situation now. Scientists know that rising temperatures will change the climate.


What natural factors do scientists think might be causing climate change?

There are no natural factors that scientists think are causing the present climate change. It is now clear that global warming is caused by deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).


How Many scientists don't believe in global warming?

The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that global warming is real and primarily caused by human activities. While there may be a small minority of scientists who question the extent or causes of global warming, the consensus and evidence supporting the reality of climate change are robust.


What do the opponents of the global warming theory believe?

Opponents of the global warming theory may believe that the Earth's climate changes are natural and not primarily influenced by human activities. They may also argue that the scientific evidence supporting global warming is inconclusive or exaggerated, and that policies to address climate change could have negative economic impacts.


How long do we have to survive if climate change does not stop?

Some scientists think the human race has a 50:50 chance of surviving beyond 2100 if climate change continues.

Why do climate scientists believe climate change is real and is of concern?

Climate scientists believe climate change is real and is of concern because they understand the science involved and the factors that contribute to the climate, what controls it, and what is happening that makes the climate change. They also see and understand how the climate is changing and why it is happening.
