Scientists Believe Global Warming is Real
LittleWolf on January-21-09
A large majority of scientists believe that human-induced global warming is real. The University of Illinois surveyed 3,146 scientists. The results say 90% of scientists believe that mean global temperatures have risen since pre-1800s levels, and 82% believe that human activity is a significant factor in raising global temps.
However there is a divide between climatologists and other scientists as to whether humans are to blame for global warming. Nearly 97% of climatologists who perform climate research believe that humans play a role. But only 64% of meteorologists and 47% of petroleum geologists believe in human involvement.
