Over 97 percent of scientists are convinced that man-made global warming is very real indeed.
The debate over whether human activities are contributing to climate change has been raging for years but according to a new study for the National Academy of Sciences almost all of the 1,372 scientists polled on the matter believe that it is very likely that humans are indeed responsible at least in part for the changes to our environment.
Forget the four out of five dentists who recommend Trident…. Try the 97 out of 100 scientists that believe in man-made climate change. This data comes from a new survey out this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The study found that 97 percent of scientific experts agree that climate change is "very likely" caused mainly by human activity.
