Not all scientists are in academia and the vast majority aren't climate scientists. Why scientists lean left and others lean right is most likely due to differences in physiology, life experience, and worldview.

If your citing the Doran poll which is one most often cited for the 97% figure that would be incorrect. The 97% would be a grand total of 76 scientists and that is only the tip of the iceberg for the issues associated with this poll.

You should research your topic and educate yourself on it.

I figured it was worth a shot.

great, then they wont mind at all when all federal and state money is pulled from their area of expertise. that way they can make a real objective stance vs making one to get more taxpayer money for their pet project.

You clearly don't understand how research works, do you?

Life has no meaning at all, if we cant deal with our climate-problems in due time, as is now soon or never.
I have warned of this for a long time, since all or parts of Australia and the whole world, southern Europe and US, will be unliveable first. If it goes on, all humans will be extinguished.

China may fix their problems, US have to follow where there are most political problems today with many lobbyists, who can kill us with words if they get paid. Against all real climate experts who agree we are in serious trouble, since this is man made with a certainty of almost 100%!

Uninformed sceptics and fools have very simple matters to consider:
To store coal in millions of years and burn it all in a short time, has never been a “natural variation”, it affects us with to much CO2 and when it gets warmer, methane gas will come up as is 25 time times more lethal than CO2.

And we have to change energy systems anyway, since fossil fuels will end, so why wait and risk all our lives, what can You do?

What a ridiculous thread using made up crap..
1) The following link is from NASA, and it shows the 97% of scientists who believe in manmade global warming.

Climate Change: Consensus


2) The following link is also from NASA, and it shows that global warming is nothing to play with. NASA says "Global warming could plunge North America and Western Europe into a (deep) freeze, possibly within only a few decades. That's the paradoxical scenario gaining credibility among many climate scientists."

A Chilling Possibility - NASA Science


As far as #3 perhaps the OP was just being sarcastic?

(If there is not a problem is not any subject in this thread! There are another one for that dispute.)
Romney agreed before but pretend he changed to win now, he is waiting for 100% experts to agree in this matter.
By that time it is all to late.
Since when does 100% scientists agree in anything?
Absolute nonsense. IT is not 97%. It's not anything but a small radical contingent who want public money without limit or end.
