Quote:The trouble is, if as you say, 70% of climate scientists say this is a big problem, vs the 30% who say this is a small or no problem, then whom am I to believe?   A lot of people say the ratio of believers to skeptics is even higher than you say.
 

Here's some more info on your question. Purdue published a poll. Looking at the three 'scientist' categories, and (mentally) averaging based on the number of responents, it looks like about 55% believe that the climate is changing and humans are mostly responsible. Another 30% believe that humans are about 50% responsible. Since the temperature has flatlined this century, it seems logical to conclude that 'natural' effects have to be at least as strong as anthropogenic effects to be able to counterbalance the effect of the CO2 increase.


 

The poll does not ask whether or not they believe the climate change is a problem. If you believe climate change is happening but it's not a problem, does that make you a skeptic?
