Climate Change scientists

Post by dadsolarjohn »

I'm in a discussion, and we're seeking answers to the question ... When we hear that 97% of scientists believe there is a 'human' connection to the climate dilemma ... are the 'scientists' referred to 'climate scientists' or not ... ? Thank you :)

Hi,

I do not know the source of that claim you cited so I cannot answer your question. I suspect that it refers to all scientists not just those that specialize in climatology. In fact you don't need to be a scientist to understand the connection between increases in CO2 and increases in global temperature as well as ocean acidity. Any educated person can read a review or book on how human activities alter climate and learn the facts for themselves. The difficulty is finding unbiased sources of 'facts'.
