How many people belive in global warming.?

The largest poll into attitudes towards climate changes was conducted some years ago and involved over 33,000 people from 30 countries. The outcome was that 90% of people considered “climate change or global warming, due to the greenhouse effect" to be either a “serious” or a “very serious” problem. 8% of people polled did not consider it to be a serious problem, the other 2% had no opinion either way.

In the United States the number of people who accept global warming is happening is significantly less. In a poll conducted last month by Gallup some 35% of Americans were worried “a great deal”, 22% “a fair amount”, 19% “somewhat”, 24% “not at all”.

Of the Americans who are skeptical there are more men than women, and more middle aged and elderly than younger people. Republicans are seven times more likely to be sceptical than Democrats and similarly, those with conservative beliefs are seven times more likely to be sceptics than those with liberal beliefs.

From other polls we know the sceptics are more likely to live in the Southern States than other parts of the US, their favourite sport is Nascar and they’re more likely to have a strong religious background. Educationally there is little difference between sceptics and believers.

Within the climate science community some 97 to 98% of scientists accept that humans are contributing to climate change.

This survey found 97.5% of climate scientists believe global warming is happening:

In this one it was it was 97.1%

http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/2/024024/pdf...

In this one it was 97-98% and concludes that “(i) 97–98% of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field support the tenets of ACC (Anthropogenic Climate Change) outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and (ii) the relative climate expertise and scientific prominence of the researchers unconvinced of ACC are substantially below that of the convinced researchers.”

Within the scientific community as a whole, there isn’t a single scientific organisation on the planet that disputes humans are causing climate change.

We can officially stop wondering if there is a "consensus" on global warming among scientists. A new study by James Lawrence Powell found only a single dissenter out of 9,136 authors who denied that global warming was man-made. Powell looked at more than 2,000 studies published in peer-reviewed journals from November 2012 through December 2013 and came up with just one that didn't believe in man-made global warming.

The "97% of scientists" claim was exposed as fraudulent. Don't fall for it.

That number came about by way of amateurish research methods. No ETHICAL Scientist/researcher would ever have come up with such a ridiculous claim.

Less than 1/3rd of the "so-called consensus" (97%) of climate scientists actually adhere to the catastrophic nature of "Global Warming". The other 2/3rds only adhere to the idea that humans have an effect on the climate. Using the 97% figure, alarmist climate scientists claim that it is a problem and the media (looking for a sensational story) prints it as a fact that the "consensus" agrees that catastrophes are on the horizon. Sensationalism is big news, but true-to-life temperature readings do not coincide with the "CO2 warming theory".

Case in point : January 2007 was the highest global monthly temperature ever recorded and it was sensationalized by the media, but on the backside of that story was that the global average temperatures fell off by the end of the year by 0.47C and on average the global average monthly temperatures averaged 0.37C less than the January record for the rest of the year. That story was never told nor was it sensationalized by climate science (NASA) or the media. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v3/GLB...

People are catching on to Government ineptness. "Global Warming" is just another "one of those blunders". That's what happens when politics get mixed up with science. Outside of BIG Government thinking is where you will find real people who think intelligently and weigh the evidence and most believe it is just an overzealous, liberal-thinking Government in charge of things at this point in time.

Most of the world believes The US has been screwed over by science denial, particularly the think tanks that were in the pockets of big tobacco and now they are in the pockets of big oil and coal so we have trouble accepting the current science We even had fake doctors in the 40s and 50s telling us bacon was good for us

Only the end of world people do

it's not a question of believing or not, global warming is happening. That's a really stupid question......

All the informed and intelligent ones.

I recommend James Cameron's nine-part series on climate change, "Years of Living Dangerously"
