![]() The main problem is that the public sees the cause as important rather than the cure and who can blame them – it seems to be the only thing that the scientific community is interested in – this site included. Why? Because those politicians who, for reasons known to them and suspected by us, take either no action, or the absolute minimum necessary to keep their seats, the situation gets worse. I've indicated the "I'm not sure" portion in the "97 out of 100 climate experts" infographic with grey colouring.įor pities sake, WAKE UP! All the while the argument regarding climate change is about whether the current warming is anthropogenic in origin or not, the action that is becoming more and more urgent gets put on the back-burner. Response to the survey question "Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?" ( Doran 2009 ) One feature of Doran's survey results is that while 97% of climate expert said "yes, humans are causing global warming", only 1% said "no, we're not". As "climate scientists actively publishing peer-reviewed research on climate change" doesn't really roll off the tongue, I abbreviated that down to "climate experts". Another study directly asked earth scientists the following question "Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?" They found 97% of actively publishing climate scientists answered yes ( Doran 2009). One study surveyed all climate scientists who have publicly signed declarations supporting or rejecting the consensus ( Anderegg 2010). The 97% figure comes from two independent studies, each employing different methodologies. So as a tool for anyone wishing to communicate the scientific consensus, I've added the following infographic to the Climate Graphics resource: At the same time, I was working on a consensus graphic (cribbed from the Guide to Skepticism) for a video presentation. It made me realise just how good a job both the mainstream media and the fossil fuel funded disinformation campaign have done in confusing the public about the scientific consensus on global warming. He registered great surprise at that statistic. I was talking about climate to my dad last week (since the book launch, he will now talk to me about the subject) and I mentioned that 97% of climate scientists are convinced that humans are causing global warming.
