The STATS study polled nearly 500 randomly selected members of the American Meteorological Society and the American Geophysical Union listed in American Men and Women of Science, the longtime “Who’s Who” directory of the scientific community. This provided the best glimpse into the views of prominent American scientists with expertise relevant to climate change. We asked them not only whether they thought global warming was occurring, but how severe the effects might be, and how certain they were about making such judgments.
As with all polls, the answers you get depend on the questions you ask. We found that almost all climate scientists believe that the world has been warming: 97% agree that “global average temperatures have increased” during the past century. But not everyone attributes that rise to human activity. A slight majority (52%) believe this warming was human-induced, 30% see it as the result of natural temperature fluctuations and the rest are unsure.
Dickmnixon reminds us in a comment that this study is from 2007, before Climategate. The numbers are probably lower nowadays.
#33, Pointing out your hypocrisy . . . AGAIN
How many times have you said that if “We the People” want something, we should get it?
Well, it appears that “We the People” have said AGW is hogwash.
Why would you sacrifice others to save your wife?
#9 And of course, you are an expert on sheep, what with you being one and all.
#16 Like you are so strong minded. Go watch another Al Gory video.
#23 I think I know what your glass is half full of. It’s brown and creates greenhouse gases when it comes out. It can also generate power when burned.
#26 I think you’re not scared enough. Go to Dullas’ house and watch more Al Gory horror movies.
#31 Well, they’d be on par with your half-assed posts.
Translation of post #33:
“I love a good sheeple that tries hard to please the cause, but you need some work to do which I’ll do for you”
All you lefty loons are pathetic.
#35 said: “His posts were pure junk…”
Because yours are pearls… in a pigsty.
#37 You gonna keep on changing nicknames? Why don’t you just leave already and do us all a favor, huh?

The reason I gave my poll because it is
more up-to-date. Take it or leave it.
Your post #40 and post #13 tells me you
are insane. You rant and rave over
something you do not understand!!!!!
From: Obamaforever
To: pedro
per #42
pedro, you are nothing but a critic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do something useful. Go home and wash your
goat-it smells!!!!
I am pretty tired of the rants of Obamaforever… and all his aliases.
But let just let him play. It is amusing as well…
You can always trust in things Cherman reveals. He’s infallible.
Obamaforever, you are the worst ambassador for the climate change alarmists I’ve ever come across. You must be making poor Mr. Fusion cringe so much, that he feels the need for damage control on your posts (the only reason I can imagine), but no amount of damage control will fix stupidity.
#41, Loser,
How many times have you said that if “We the People” want something, we should get it?
None. Zero. Rien. Nada. etc. etc.
And no, “We the People” haven’t said AWG is hogwash. I suggest you look at Obamaforever @ #31 and see yourself. A solid majority of people believe climate change is a problem and is caused by humans.
Why do you hate America so much you have to lie about her?
From: Obamaforever

per #46
Cherman thinks he is the Pope!!!!
#47, JimR,
Obamaforever is on the money. You have lied. Repeatedly. And you have misrepresented the truth.
You said you haven’t made up your mind yet you dismiss all the evidence and go with your hunch and non scientific mass hysteria.
#35, Obamaforever,
Sir, one suggestion. Please don’t ever, EVER apologize for some POS tea bagger.
Your sentiments are appreciated.
#47–JimR==yea!!! I haven’t followed Obamaforever closely but in this thread anyway he is being quite helpful and constructive with Fusions help in providing the link.
WHAT????? You want every post to be about the scientific method even when the Original Post was about the stupidity of poll driven pop culture==and irrelevantly old to begin with??
You sure you want to be a one note pony? In fact you are very wrong. Excellent to always keep in mind that science always proceeds by one man disagreeing with the accepted science but until that man stands up and presents his evidence, the consensus is exactly how, and the ONLY WAY, science and society proceeds.
Find the orchestra of your wisdom and wit and stop salivating all over your piccolo.
#44 How do you know it smells, are you doing it right now? Figures.
#50 conFused found a pet boy. I’m happy for him.
#35 and #51:
Are you two done swapping spit yet? Two numbers on the bill were transposed on that last thread. Fusion caught it, I corrected it. Grow the fuck up.
So now I guess “tea bagger” is the new term for anyone who doesn’t agree with your particular brand of politics or just something you guys use as a crutch due to lack of imagination?
#48,
Read #66 you hypocrite.
We have told our representatives we want everyone covered.
Where does it say that in the Constitution, hypocrite?
Why would you let others die to save your wife?
#55–Now Loser, this is NOT ABOUT everyone wanting to kill your wife, this is about finding ways to intelligently plan to safeguard our environment for our kiddies.
How many kiddies will you force into an unclean degraded environment so that you can continue to pollute without paying for it?
Round off to the nearest billion?

Quote: from per #31 (see More On Obama’s Big Sellout)
Section 7201 of HR 3692
End of Quote.
What it should have said: H.R.3962 Sec501 and the Internal Revenue Code section 7201 and 7203.
nospam, yours was no common typo. This is a lot more then transposing two numbers.
You were giving out disinformation either knowingly or unknowingly!!!
Please no more posts from you. Disinformation has no place on this blog!!!!
How many kiddies will be deprived of medical care and other necessities of life as the nearest trillion is instead needlessly pumped into the fantasy that may or may not be Global Warming?

#57:
Oh yes, lots of big disinformation because I typed 3692 instead of 3962. How about I follow you around and rub your nose in every typo you make. Seriously, it that your best? You’re the diet coke of trolls.

It’s not that simple. First, we aren’t “choosing” to be greener. Someone will dictate whether you are being green enough (unless you are wealthy enough to ignore those rules like Big Al). Second, you are ignoring opportunity costs. If we are spending billions to force people to be greener then we aren’t spending those billions on other uses such as clean water, paying down the debt, fixing roads, education and so on. Third, forcing businesses to be greener will mean increased costs which will compel more business to move to countries where it is cheaper to operate.
The real question people should be asking is, “What would you be willing to give up to have stricter carbon emissions?” Would you be willing to give up any hopes of universal health care? Would you be willing to lose your job so that we might be a few degrees cooler in a couple of generations?
